Social Contributions

Support of Music Culture
through the Nippon Steel Arts Foundation at Kioi Hall

Ever since its foundation, Nippon Steel Corporation has made a major contribution not only to the development of Japan’s economy but also to the progress of art and culture mainly in music for more than 65 years continuously, presenting the well-known weekly radio program “Nippon Steel Concerts” broadcasted from 1955 to 2005, and “Nippon Steel Music Awards” established in 1990.
Nippon Steel is active in contribution to music through the supports to Nippon Steel Arts Foundation at Kioi Hall.

Kioi Hall

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the former Nippon Steel in 1990, Kioi Hall was planned to construct and opened in 1995 as a part of Nippon Steel’s philanthropic activities. The Kioi Hall contains two halls; Kioi Hall that is suitable for classical chamber music and Kioi Small Hall that is furnished for Japanese traditional music. As both halls are carefully designed and have the highest quality, those are garnered a high reputation among the musicians and the audience at home and abroad.

Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra Tokyo

With the opening of Kioi Hall in 1995, the Kioi Sinfonietta Tokyo (former name at the time of establishment) was founded as the orchestra in residence. It is renowned for its world-class soloists, chamber musicians, as well as its visiting principal musicians from leading orchestras both in Japan and abroad.
The orchestra is unique in that rehearsals are conducted in the Hall itself, thereby enabling the full potential of the orchestra to be continually developed and refined. As a result, the resident orchestra has developed its own highly distinctive sound.
In addition to the subscription concerts, Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra Tokyo also has performed internationally (the special concert for the Tokai-city's 50th anniversary in 2020,etc. ), and has been acclaimed for its concerts in Europe (2000, 2005), South Korea (2009, 2010) and United States (2012).
Recently the orchestra was invited to perform in prestigious music festivals in Japan, notably the Music Festival Argerich’s Meeting Point in Beppu in 2015 and 2016, the Spring Festival in Tokyo in 2016 and 2019 as well as the Spring Green Music Festival 2018 in Kanazawa.
From April 2017, the orchestra's name changed to “Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra Tokyo” to clarify embodiment of the orchestra and Kioi Hall,and the orchestra asigned Rainer Honeck to the Principal Conductor. From April 2022, the Principal Conductor has been succeeded to Trevor Pinnock and the orchestra will continue to strive for excellent harmony under the direction of Maestro Pinnock.
