Joint Projects with the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music of National University of Singapore
In March 2016, our president Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi presented a cello master class at the Yong Siew Toh (YST) Conservatory of Music of National University of Singapore. In the following May, selected fellows from Suntory Hall Chamber Music Academy and the YST students had one week joint rehearsal camp to give concerts in Singapore.
In June, selected members from the Conservatory visited Japan for another performance with the Academy Fellows at Suntory Hall's Chamber Music Garden. They also had a chance to play with the leading violinist Cho-Liang Lin, resulting the exchange program successful and fruitful to both parties.
