The Tokyo Junior Orchestra Society (東京ジュニアオーケストラソサエティー) was established in April 1994 by Fuminori “Maro” Shinozaki, the Principal Concertmaster of the NHK Symphony Orchestra.[1][2] Orchestra members are instructed by members of professional orchestras and university instructors.
Most members are currently enrolled in pre-collegiate music programs, contributing to its reputation as one of the most selective youth orchestras in Japan.[3][4][5] Prospective members must pass auditions held throughout the year.
Past performances include a performance of Chopin's Piano Concerto No.1 which was broadcast on television in 2010. It has had joint concerts with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, which were also broadcast on television, and with the California Youth Symphony.[6]
Tokyo Junior Orchestra Society was accredited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as an endorsed non-profit organization in 2009.[7][8]
