As of January 5, the announcement made by the government of Japan on November 29 re: Strengthened border enforcement measures against the Omicron variant is still effective and entry of the foreign nationals are still suspended.

Thus we cannot carry out procedures necessary for the entry of Mo. Matthias Bamert who were to conduct the following concerts.

There will be no change in the program, however there will be a change in conductor.

We ask for your kind understandings on this.

※Mo. Hubert Soudant, who will be conducting the following program is already in Japan since November to conduct orchestras nationwide.
