inVisible × Japan Philharmonic Orchestra
INVISIBLE is a non-profit organization established in 2015 based
on the concept of “invisible to visible.” With its main bases in
Tokyo and Tomioka (Fukushima), it is engaged in community
revitalization and education-related projects using the power of
art, culture, and creativity.

Japan Philharmonic Orchestra was the first of its kind in Japan,
founded in June 1956 by the late Ayao Watanabe. The orchestra
performs under the direction of a distinguished lineup of
conductors: Principal Conductor Pietari Inkinen, Principal Guest
Conductor Karthun Wong (Chief Conductor from September 2023),
Laureate Conductor and Artistic Advisor Alexander Lazarev,
Laureate Honorary Conductor Kenichiro Kobayashi, and Friend of
the JPO (Artistic Advisor) Junichi Hirokami. In April 2011, the
orchestra launched the “Music for Disaster Areas” program to
deliver music to regions struck by the Great East Japan
Earthquake, and as of 2022, the program has performed at more
than 320 occasions. Their activities have been highly acclaimed,
and in 2022, the group was awarded the 16th Shinpei Goto Award.
While valuing the foundations of “warmth” and “closeness to
people,” the group aims to engage the various powers of music in
society for all people, generations, and regions. They appear on
BS Asahi's Welcome Classic every Wednesday from
10:54-11:00pm.
