Joyful tour
The profound sense of mutual joy during the Asia tour showcasing works by Mozart was tangible: in Japan and South Korea The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen under the baton of Principal Conductor Paavo Järvi elicited rapturous ovations from the audience – and the outstanding hospitality of the hosts deep gratitude from the orchestra. The musical adventure kicked off together with pianist Rafał Blechacz in the city of Kumamoto, Japan, on 7th December 2024, followed by a performance in the Minato Mirai Hall in Yokohama – a special venue for our musicians, who performed the very first Beethoven Cycle here in 2006. The tour continued to Tokyo, where the orchestra performed with violinist Daishin Kashimoto, before being joined by rising Spanish violin star María Dueñas for further exhilarating concerts up and down the country. After eight concerts in six major Japanese cities, the orchestra and conductor travelled on to South Korea, more precisely to Incheon, Seoul and Daejeon, where together with the 20-year-young pianist Yunchan Lim they celebrated an unforgettable debut and tour finale to enthusiastic shouts of ›bravo‹.
»… The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen is without a doubt one of the most interesting ensembles around today.«
