■ “Patron” refers to the people who support the Orchestra such as individuals, groups, corporations, and government agencies. In addition to the occasional crowdfunding, we are always recruiting through on our website. The crowd funding returns are planned to include things that allow you to enjoy the music of Kishida Shigeru Orchestra anytime, anywhere. CDs, video links, and some souvenirs and special products.
■ The members of the Orchestra changes time to time, that please join us as the member of orchestra. Sheet music is the common language of the orchestra members, and we aim to play immediately. Read the music, practice, and get together and play.
We have violins, violas, cellos, cellos, double basses, various woodwinds, brass, percussion and keyboard, as well as ethnic instruments, rare handmade instruments and even electronic instruments.
We are looking for a wide range of vocal percussionists and opera singers to fit the nature and size of the concert. Wide range of players of all nationalities, ages and genders, especially students studying music and those who have graduated from music school and continue to perform.
Ideally, we are looking for players based in Kyoto for our upcoming performance. We look forward to see you knocking on the door of our orchestra.
■ This orchestra performs in places where music is not usually played. Not as concert hall nor clubs. The reason is not clear at the moment, but we feel that there are many things can be discovered through our performances. The city, the land, the buildings, the place, the people, and the music in it. The cool thing is that we play in anywhere, unless it's dangerous or else.
With the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, there are a lot of obstacles to overcome for us to ensemble, but we will use our wits and the energy of music and fill the place.
Orchestra master, Shigeru Kishida
