With the opening of Kioi Hall in 1995, the Orchestra was founded as the Orchestra in Residence. It is renowned for its world-class soloists, chamber musicians, as well as its visiting principal musicians from leading orchestras both in Japan and abroad.
The Orchestra is unique in that rehearsals are conducted in the Hall itself, thereby enabling the full potential of the Orchestra to be continually developed and refined. As a result, the resident Orchestra has developed its own highly distinctive sound.
Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra Tokyo runs 5 programs every year for its subscription series, with 2 performances for each program. The Orchestra has also performed internationally, and has been acclaimed for its concerts in Europe (2000, 2005), South Korea (2009, 2010) and United States (2012). Recently the Orchestra was invited to perform in prestigious music festivals in Japan, notably the Music Festival Argerich’s Meeting Point in Beppu in 2015 and 2016 as well as the Spring Festival in Tokyo in 2016.
From April 2017, the Orchestra’s name changed to “Kioi Hall Chamber Orchestra Tokyo” to clarify embodiment of the Orchestra and Kioi Hall, The Orchestra will continue to strive for excellent harmony under the direction of its Principal Conductor Rainer Honeck.

Tokyo University of the Arts (東京藝術大学 , Tōkyō Geijutsu Daigaku) or Geidai (芸大 ) is an art school in Japan. Located in Ueno Park, it also has facilities in Toride, Ibaraki, Yokohama, Kanagawa, and Kitasenju, Adachi, Tokyo. The university owns two halls of residence: one (for both Japanese and international students) in Adachi, Tokyo, and the other (for mainly international students) in Matsudo, Chiba.
The university was formed in 1949 by the merger of the Tokyo Fine Arts School (東京美術学校 , Tōkyō Bijutsu Gakkō) and the Tokyo Music School (東京音楽学校 , Tōkyō Ongaku Gakkō) , both founded in 1887. Originally male-only, the schools began to admit women in 1946. The graduate school opened in 1963, and began offering doctoral degrees in 1977. After the National University Corporations were formed on April 1, 2004, the school became known as the Kokuritsu Daigaku Hōjin Tōkyō Geijutsu Daigaku ((国立大学法人東京藝術大学 ) . On April 1, 2008, the university changed its English name from "Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music" to "Tokyo University of the Arts."
The school has had student exchanges with a number of other art and music institutions such as the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (USA), the Royal Academy of Music (UK), the University of Sydney and Queensland College of Art, Griffith University (Australia), the Korea National University of Arts, and the China Central Academy of Fine Arts.
