JapanWe received a comment from Yuya Honma, who joined the Philharmonic Orchestra.
As of August 1stJapanMy name is Yuya Homma and I joined the Philharmonic Orchestra as a percussionist.
The music is supple, passionate, and your people.Shaftis warm, like thatJapanWe are very happy to have been added to the Philharmonic's percussion section.
The orchestra's percussion section has a sound that has been passed down over many years because of the orchestra's own instruments and tools, and we believe that this is deeply connected to the fact that classical music is called a reproduction art.JapanSeeing that the 50-year-old cymbal that belonged to Phil is still shining brightly, I can feel the extraordinary amount of love that has been poured into it, and I am humbled every day.
Therefore, while continuing to use the tools and instruments that we currently have with care, I would like to not only hone my own skills as a member who will be responsible for the sound of the orchestra in the future, but also strive to explore better tones and create fresh sounds.
Thank you for your continued support.
