Suntory Holdings Limited (Suntory) has partnered with the TOMODACHI Initiative, a public-private partnership between the U.S.-Japan Council and the U.S. Embassy Tokyo to launch the TOMODACHI Suntory Fukushima Mirai Music Program from February 28, 2016 as part of Suntory Group's "Suntory Tohoku Sun-Sun Project," which supports recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Suntory partnered with the TOMODACHI Initiative to establish the TOMODACHI Suntory Music Scholarship Fund in 2013. To date, a total of six students (including two from the Tohoku Region), have received scholarships to three notable music schools*１ in the United States.
To provide children with more opportunities to “rehabilitate their hearts” through music, the TOMODACHI Suntory Fukushima Mirai Music Program recruited students from the Music club of Fukushima Futaba Mirai Gakuen High School, a school that was established in April 2015 as a “Super Global High School.” The students composed original music and received instruction from globally established composer and conductor, Takehito Shimazu, while in Japan. Once the students traveled to the United States in Mid-August, they participated in a workshop with the world renowned New York Philharmonic while homestaying in NewYork City and performed in Lincoln Center. Through this program, the hope is for the students to gain a global perspective while realizing their next steps into making their dreams a reality.
