Announced on New Year Day 2022: a Japan tour (July 2022) of Nobuyuki Tsujii, Fumiaki Miura and the ARK Sinfonietta. I am sure that it is not a coincidence that this announcement came so soon after the conclusion of the free Dec 27-29 streaming of the 2021 ARK Classics Concerts very generously provided by Avex Classics (management of Nobu , Fumi and many of the performers) and Suntory Hall (where the concerts take place annually).

*********
A similar scheduling pattern took place last year: A mid-year (summer) Japan tour for Nobu & company to perform works from the ARK concerts held the year before. It seems the strategy is here to stay. It is a smart move, in light of the uncertainties on concert scheduling due to the pandemic.
I wish the artists and organizers great success.
