Friends of El Sistema Japan initially planned to hold the World Children’s Music Festival in April 2020 to bring together children from eight countries worldwide and across Japan. However, due to the spread of COVID-19, the festival was postponed to March 2021.

Unfortunately, the pandemic has limited the possibilities for everyone to play on stage together, but we have not given up on adhering to our festival’s vision. We will share messages and performance videos from friends both in Japan and abroad, and the concert will be live-streamed online, accessible from anywhere around the world.

Instead of Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 , the World Children’s Music Festival Orchestra will play his Symphony No.5 which is a memorable piece for the members of the Soma Children's Orchestra. They performed it in Berlin five years ago and will perform this monumental piece again with musicians who will gather to support the festival’s mission. The Soma Children’s Chorus and Tokyo White Hand Chorus will perform “Ametsuchi no Uta” (lyrics by Nozomu Hayashi/composed by Maki Ueda), a beautiful suite of songs that celebrates nature in Japan.

As people across the world struggle to overcome the pandemic, we wish to share joy and hope through this festival and deliver El Sistema’s universal mission: to play, sing, and strive.
