The Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra (TMSO) stands as a beacon of classical music excellence in Japan and beyond. Established in 1965, the orchestra serves as one of the most prominent Japanese ensembles, proudly representing the Tokyo metropolis both nationally and on the international stage. Under the aegis of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Foundation for Promotion of Music & Culture, TMSO actively engages in an ambitious array of performances that span from symphonic concerts to opera and ballet orchestration, ensuring that the transformative power of music reaches diverse audiences.

Remarkable for their versatility and breadth of repertoire, the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra embraces both classic and contemporary works. Their recent releases showcase their mastery across different periods and styles. From the passionate dynamism of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos to the profound emotional depths of Suk's Symphony No. 2 "Asrael," TMSO exhibits a profound technical and interpretive prowess. They also lend their skill to the evocative compositions of Dai Fujikura, echoing the modern voice within the symphonic tradition. Their performances of Richard Strauss' Oboe Concerto and 'Four Last Songs', Mahler's Symphony No. 4, as well as Beethoven's storied "Eroica" Symphony No. 3 and "Coriolan" Overture further reflect their commitment to bringing both beloved classics and the works of Japanese composers to an ever-widening audience. With these recent albums, TMSO continues to affirm its standing as a lustrous gem in the world of orchestral music.
