The AGIO Festival vol. 4: A Celebration of Chamber Music

Get ready for a melodious journey as the prestigious AGIO Festival returns for its fourth edition from November 13 to 15, 2026, at the stunning Hamariyu Asahi Hall. This festival, co-produced by Asahi Shimbun and featuring world-class musicians, promises an unforgettable experience for classical music lovers.

The heart of this year's festival is the collaboration between two remarkable artists: Dai Miyata, an esteemed cellist known for his exceptional talent, and Koichi Yokomizo, a principal violinist of the NHK Symphony Orchestra. Their dedication to chamber music has drawn numerous other accomplished musicians to participate in this event, creating an atmosphere charged with passion for the art.

In its inception in 2023, the AGIO Festival has quickly become a hallmark event in the classical music calendar, showcasing a blend of renowned musicians and exciting programs. Among the returning performers, we are thrilled to announce the much-anticipated comeback of Ren Ohko, the first concertmaster of the NHK Symphony Orchestra. Joining them is Kanon Matsuda, a celebrated pianist noted for her musicality and technical prowess, who will deliver varied programming that appeals to all audiences.
