MUSIC SHARING offers visiting programs in Japan to various institutions and locations where children are gathered, such as elementary schools, hospitals, shelters, orphanages and youth orchestras. Different groups of musicians (e.g. a quartet of Midori and young musicians, performers of traditional Japanese music, individual musicians) visit children and perform music. MUSIC SHARING chooses visiting places every year from schools or institutions that apply to Visiting Programs.
■ Visiting Concert
MUSIC SHARING holds a number of concerts at the same location over a period of one or two years. MUSIC SHARING provides more chances to interact with performers so that the children can experience various music genres. They are actively involved in the concerts, making pictures for pamphlets, escorting musicians or interviewing them.

■ Orchestra Visit Program
In the Orchestra Visit Program, Midori and young musicians visit youth orchestras, ensembles and school orchestras for the purpose of encouraging musical exchanges. The exchange of performance between the artists and the orchestra members is followed by a Question & Answer session where lively interaction occurs with the sharing of ideas and opinions.
