Music Director Hiroshi Hoshina

The Hoshina Academy Chamber Orchestra "Ensemble=Harmonia" is a Japanese amateur orchestra.
It was established by alumni and present members of the Okayama University Symphony Orchestra in 1994. Players and the resident conductor Takashi Akiyama are amateur musicians who seriously love performing classical music.

They are the most enthusiastic supporters of the “Hoshina Method”, a unified theory of the musical analysis and interpretation. This method was developed by Hiroshi Hoshina and the Okayama University Symphony Orchestra during decades of their efforts.
Having common experiences at the Okayama University Symphony Orchestra, they also practice strict training methods they trained at the university orchestra - so called “Okayama University Method” -, in order to keep their clean ensemble. 

Although this orchestra consists of non-music career players, their concerts always get favorable comments from audiences.
Members meet once a month for rehearsal and have been trying to polish up their ensemble within the limited number of rehearsals, with making maximum use of the power of the "Okayama University Method".
