PMF 2021 will feature the uniquely formed PMF Orchestra JAPAN, with the Academy – 28 young musicians selected through auditions who had committed to attend last year and who currently reside in Japan – at its core. In the first half of the festival they will play alongside PMF alumni currently active in professional orchestras throughout Japan. Spanning from highly experienced performers who also serve as music teachers to young performers who only recently attended PMF themselves, the range of PMF’s alumni network will be on full display. Sunao Goko will lead this orchestra as concertmaster.

In the second half, the Academy will perform alongside music students from Japanese universities, and the sections will be led by principal players from top-class orchestras in Japan. Together they will take on an ambitious program, culminating in the Picnic Concert and GALA Concert, the grand finale of PMF 2021.
