Taeko Onuki, who has been holding concerts this summer making extensive use of synthesizers and computers, announced today, during her final performance in Roppongi, that she will hold “Taeko Onuki Symphonic Concert 2024” in Tokyo this winter on Saturday, November 30th. This will be her third symphonic concert and her first in four years since her last one in 2020.
I’m already looking forward to seeing what kind of songs will be performed and in what form in collaboration with the orchestra.
Advance ticket sales will begin tomorrow, the 10th (Wednesday), at noon, so be sure to check early.
