Next stop of the tour has taken the Lucerne Festival Orchestra to Kawasaki.

At the Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall  many fans were waiting for taking pictures with the members of the orchestra. Here for example with trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich and cellist Clemens Hagen.

Two hours before the concert at the Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall the orchestra had a sound check.

Richard Strauss' Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Op. 30, Death and Transfiguration, Op. 24, and Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, Op. 28 were on program on that evening.

After the concert the orchestra returned by bus to Tokyo before traveling to Kyoto. On the way back a little surprise was waiting for trombonist Jörgen van Rijen (it was just a little joke).
