Conductor Jaap van Zweden was the music director of the New York Philharmonic and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and violinist Sayaka Shoji was named one of the 100 people who will influence the future of Japan by Nikkei Business. Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, known as 'Dionysus' and praised by Wagner as 'the apotheosis of dance', with its energetic rhythm and infectious melody, symbolizes the Dionysian people's release from all constraints and the expression of vitality!
