What this is
Mendelssohn's two great Piano Trios performed back-to-back in a single morning — a rare chance to hear both works in one sitting. Violinist Yasutaka Ishida, concertmaster of the Kanagawa Philharmonic, leads Trio Japan (violin, cello, piano) in this intimate brunch-hour concert at Tokyo Geigeki. The series, now in its 56th volume, has built a reputation for pairing rigorous classical programming with a relaxed morning atmosphere.
Who should go
Classical music fans who enjoy chamber music in an intimate setting. The morning timeslot suits early risers and those who want culture without giving up their evening.
Good to know
Tickets are typically available through eplus.jp or the Tokyo Geigeki box office — both options are accessible to foreign visitors, and eplus accepts foreign credit cards with convenience store (Lawson) pickup available. Tokyo Geigeki Concert Hall is a mid-sized, seated venue with good sightlines throughout; the intimate scale makes it well-suited to chamber music. Arrive 15–20 minutes before the start to collect tickets and find your seat comfortably. The venue is non-smoking and photography during the performance is generally not permitted. Being a morning concert, the programme is likely to run around 90 minutes without interval, so plan accordingly.
