Message (as an Academy member) to PMF supporters

What are you looking forward to about PMF?

Since attending PMF 2025, I knew I wanted to return because I had so many great and unique experiences. Top playing, nice faculty, great friendships, and fun exploring the city. This time, I am also really looking forward to reuniting and working with Ryan Bancroft, who is the chief conductor of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, where I was an academist.

Please type a message to music fans and those who support PMF in Sapporo and throughout Japan.

Thank you so much for your support of this festival. It is such a unique and positive experience for all of us, and i hope we can return the love with playing beautiful music for you!
