ORCHESTRA

Philomusica Symphony Orchestra, whose name originates from the words 'philos' (meaning love in Greek) and 'musica' (meaning music in Latin), is one of the orchestras at the University of Tokyo.  I served as First Violinist and Stage Manager of Philomusica from March 2006 - February 2008.  We had violinist practice meetings twice a week, and on top of that, the whole orchestra gathered together for practice once a week.  Every summer and winter, we would go for a five-day training camp in beautiful surroundings near Mountain Fuji.  During the two years that I was part of Philomusica, I performed in 4 regular concerts and 4 campus festivals.  

Below is the list of the programs performed during the two years.
