Concert tour of the S zolnok
S ymphonist Orchestra in Japan
13-29 September 2010
In 2009 concernedly to the Hungarian-Japanese
memorial year the Szolnok Symphonist Orchestra,
The Bartók Béla Chamber Choir and Andrea
Rost took part in common concert tour in Japan.
During 9 days the orchestra showed 5 different
programs in 4 towns for the worthy Japanese
audience. Following the last year’s successful
tour the orchestra was desired again in Japan in
September this year. The inviting partner (IFAC)
listened to the orchestra and they decided that
they would co-operate with the Szolnok Symphonist
Orchestra. It is an enormous accolade for
the musicians and Szolnok town and of course for
Izaki Maszhiro musical director. In the focus of
the more than fortnight’s tour is Verdi’s Nabucco
opera but of course the improvement of the Japanese-
Hungarian relationship will not be failed
either. The orchestra also will have an own
concert in Yuza in the sister town of Szolnok.
On 13th September in 2010 the symphonist
orchestra will leave for Japan again with around
sixty persons.
