In addition to regular concerts, small groups of volunteer members tour the coastal areas that were hit hardest by the disaster, deepening connections with local people through ensemble performances and spreading the message that only music can bring.

For those who join the Supporters Club for a monthly fee of 800 yen, we will send you a weekly email newsletter (every Friday) and performance and interview videos (irregularly). We will deliver behind-the-scenes information on volunteer concerts and interviews with members that are not available on the Tohoku Youth Orchestra official website.

With the support of these "Volunteer Concert Supporters," we hope to further expand the scale of our Volunteer Concert activities and deliver performances to as many people in the disaster-stricken areas as possible.

We would appreciate your support through our "Crowdfunding" and "Volunteer Concert Supporters" campaigns.
