Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara | PREMIUM HOKKAIDO COLLECTION

Park Symphony Kitara- A pleasant space where people and music harmonize.

Outline

As you get away from the bustling city streets and walk along the path through Nakajima Park, the Kitara Concert Hall comes into view. The name Kitara is derived from the instrument "kithara"played by the Apollo, the Greek god of music, and "kita" meaning "north." The beautiful notes of first class musicians from in and outside of Japan who gather here to exchange and share in their talents is mingled with the joyous conversation of the citizens who gather here. A quiet sense of awe resonates toward the northern sky.

High level Acoustic Noise

The dynamic lines of the walls and seats depict Hokkaido's vast land, a chandelier with large sound reflecting board hangs from the ceiling, and a massive pipe organ stands erect in the center.
