On 3 weekends in August the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival present you the colorful and excellent series of music. On the 2nd day of the festival, The Chamber Concert I welcomes again the Seiji Ozawa International Academy Switzerland that the director Ozawa has been nourished for over 15 years. They will perform several string quartets and octet. Along with Academy Switzerland, Ozawa keeps his passion into educating Ozawa International Chamber Music Academy Okushiga. The alums of the Academy Okushiga will join the Switzerland members and play String Quartet No.16 (string orchestra), a piece that Beethoven completed at the last in his life. Please see their performance from previous year concert here.

Chamber Concert II presents the all Beethoven program. Saito Kinen Orchestra oboe section plaies trio performance at the first half of the program. The trio was formed when Philippe Tondre won the Beethoven Ring award for the first time as an oboe player, and ever since they call themselves as "Ring Trio" and performs vigorously mainly in Europe. Tondre, Matthieu Petitjean and Max Werner studied at the Conservatoire in Paris, they make a perfect trio performance. In the later half, SKO members give you superb septet by Beethoven.

One of the must-listen programs is string sextet by Brahms leaded by Takayoshi Wanami. The chamber concert regular Jacques Zoon and Iseut Chuat will perform together with Naoko Yoshino (harp) and Akira Eguchi (piano) in Chamber Concert III.
