[CANCELED] Platinum Series Vol.4 TSUTSUMI Tsuyoshi
The supreme cellist
This performance has been canceled because of the artist member’s withdrawal (TSUTSUMI Tsuyoshi, cello) to treat his arthritis. We sincerely apologize to those anticipating this performance and appreciate your kind understanding of this situation.
Please go through the below steps for ticket refunds.
Message from the artist member, TSUTSUMI Tsuyoshi
I have decided to take a break from my performance activities to focus on treating my arthritis, which has occasionally affected my ability to perform throughout my long career.
Since the mid-1960s, when my musical journey began, I have been brought up by performing on the stage at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan. As I prepared a program for this Platinum Series, I aimed to highlight the various milestones of my career. It saddens me to cancel this performance, and I sincerely apologize to those who were looking forward to my concert. I will do my best to return with perfect health. Thank you for your understanding.
