Sapporo Symphony Orchestra

Description:

This website provides a thorough biography of the SapporoSymphony Orchestra and how they have grown over the past 50 years. They present 120 splendid performances each year throughout the 5.5 million residents of Hokkaido. “In recent years, the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra has been gaining further popularity as the orchestra which presents the vast land of Hokkaido with a clear sound and a dynamic and powerful expression.” Their popularity has tremendously grown and continues to increase especially because of the great outcome of the Europe tour in May of 2011. This website also displays the former conductors who have contributed to the orchestra’s success.

Evaluation:

This website contains vital information on the development of the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra. It would be a great website for anyone interested in attending a concert, purchasing a CD, or to simply learn about the orchestra and its impact on Japanese music. This website lacks to present any upcoming concerts.
