In addition, on the 15th, four principal players from the string orchestra Tokyo Sinfonia will be invited to hold a "String Quartet Concert." Cello, viola, and violin players will be split into three floors within the shop, and will take turns performing. The performance will transition from profound Baroque pieces to more modern pieces, expressing a fusion of old and new. For the final part, all the players will gather at the main entrance to play a beautiful string quartet. The first performance will start at 2 p.m., and the second at 5 p.m.
