We're so proud of Class of 2016 Music alumnus Misugi Tsumugu, who recently conducted his very own orchestral arrangements of hits from The Beatles! Performing under his baton was seira, the orchestra he founded while he was still studying in SOTA. Held at the Esplanade Concert Hall on 16 March 2019, the 21-year-old Misugi led the 26-piece orchestra featuring SOTA alumni and current students, as well as musicians as young as age 14!

Watch the video below to find out what the musicians have to say about this orchestra-meets-The Beatles mashup!
