During the festival, 300 or more concerts and related programs are held in the Tokyo International Forum and other venues from 9 o’clock in the morning through 11 o’clock at night. A performance lasts for about 45 minutes: one of the attractive features of the festival that enables you to look around various events.
Many people can enjoy the festival at reasonable prices. But the festival offers high-level artists only! Artistic Director René Martin said that “Only first class artists can convey true fascination.”
During the festival, you can enjoy, for free, concerts, lectures and movies, if you have a concert ticket （or a stub）. There are music kiosks on the ground plaza, by which everyone can enjoy concerts. In the daytime, families with infants can enjoy performances for them including “Concert for Babies Aged Zero.” Kids programs make them touch musical instruments and play with music. All family members can enjoy throughout a day.
The town will be filled with music to become an island of music. Mini-concerts will be held one after another in many buildings in Marunouchi and the vicinity. The whole town together will promote the festival by related events and special dishes in restaurants in the area.
