The Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra (YNSO) stands as one of Japan's premier orchestral ensembles, lauded for its expansive repertoire and commitment to both Japanese and Western classical music. Founded in 1962, with a backing from the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan’s leading newspaper, as well as Nippon Television and Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, the orchestra was established with the ambition to enrich the country's cultural landscape. Since its inception, YNSO has collaborated with a slew of esteemed conductors and soloists, shaping its identity as a beacon of orchestral excellence.

Throughout the years, YNSO's performances have often been met with critical acclaim, as they often incorporate contemporary works alongside the classical canon. The orchestra's discography reflects a dedication to both the grandiose symphonies of the 19th century and modern compositions. With recent releases including "Sibelius: Symphony No. 2," "Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 'Choral'," and "Mahler: Symphony No. 1 in D Major, 'Titan'," the YNSO continues to cement its status on the international stage. Equally, with recordings like "Dai Fujikura: Koto Concerto," they offer an exploration of works that fuse Japanese tradition with contemporary orchestral sensibilities. Under the baton of skilled conductors and the musicianship of its talented players, the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra endeavors to share powerful musical narratives and bridge cultural divides through the universal language of music.
