Notice of Cancellation – Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Japan Tour

We regret to inform you that, after thorough discussions with the orchestra, the “Japan tour of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen” scheduled for November-December this year has unavoidably been canceled. The reasons for this decision include the continuing restrictions on entry to Japan by the Japanese government due to the spread of COVID-19 and the unpredictable outlook regarding the resolution of the worldwide coronavirus situation, as well as the necessity of social distancing on stage and in audience seating.
For this Japan tour of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the baton was to be taken up by Maestro Esa-Pekka Salonen in place of Maestro Mariss Jansons, who passed away in December last year, and the orchestra had prepared a special concert program.
We know that the cancellation of the tour will be very disappointing for those who have been looking forward to the concerts, but we will be grateful for your understanding of the circumstances.
The next Japan tour of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is planned for autumn 2022.
