Notes
TOMODACHI Suntory Fukushima Mirai Music Program. From August 16 to 21, 2016, eight students from the music club of Fukushima Futaba Mirai Gakuen High School traveled to the United States to participate in a workshop with the New York Philharmonic on the TOMODACHI Suntory Fukushima Mirai Music Program.

The program was launched in February 2016, and aims to help “rehabilitate the hearts” of the students through music, five years after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Futaba Mirai Gakuen is a middle and high school established in April 2015 when the five schools within the Futaba district in Fukushima prefecture were uncertain as to when they would be able to resume because of the effects of the disaster that happened at the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant.

Progam does not indicate specifically whch NY Philharmonic musicians participated in which compositions.
