Music Program TOKYO Workshop Workshop! Convivial Project Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Relaxed Performance—
Concert for Everyone

For this performance, the word "relaxed" is all about tolerance.
A little different from other regular classical music concerts, we go easy with a slight noise or not sitting tight.
Full of friendly twists are welcoming you to enjoy music with all kinds of people, including individuals with autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, and so on, who feel insecure at concerts in music halls.
We have a hearing loop and a body-sensible acoustic device for those who have difficulties in hearing.

Stay tuned as the detailed program and instructions for families and caregivers will be posted accordingly on this page 3 weeks before the performance.

Body-sensible acoustic device seats and hearing loop accessible seats for deaf or hard-of-hearing people

This performance provides sound systems for deaf or hard-of-hearing audience so that their families and caregivers can sit together to enjoy music.


 


Body-sensible acoustic device seats


Body-sensible acoustic device “Bodysonic” is a set of pouch and seat cushion installed with a vibrating device. By transferring vibration to the user’s body, the device assists deaf or hard-of-hearing users, including those with hearing loss wearing hearing aids or those with adventitious deafness, to enjoy music with the whole body along with sounds perceived from headphones and hearing loops. Those with congenital deafness can enjoy music with only the vibration provided by the device.

Hearing loop accessible seats


A “hearing loop” (also called a “magnetic induction loop” or “magnetic loop”) transmits sound picked up by a microphone directly to the hearing aid or cochlear implant, allowing the user to hear voices and music clearly. The sound sent from the loop can be heard through the T (telecoil) setting of the hearing aid or cochlear implant or through a dedicated receiver.


Please check in advance whether your hearing aid or cochlear implant is compatible with T setting and how to switch to T setting before purchasing a ticket. (Some manufacturers’ products or certain models are not compatible with T setting.)


* If you wish to have a hearing loop receiver, please purchase a ticket “with receiver.” Please note that there is a limited number of receivers.
