Niseko Winter Music Festival

The ACO's inaugural Niseko Winter Music Festival takes place in January 2010. 

The ACO will be joined by the exhilarating Youtei Taiko Serve Association taiko drummers and one of the world’s greatest harp players, Naoko Yoshino.

Highlights include Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.4, music by tango master Astor Piazzolla and traditional Taiko drumming.

Join us at the Hilton Niseko Village for a weekend of skiing and music. For more information and inquiries, please contact your preferred ski travel professionals in Australia. Buses will be organised between the Hilton Niseko Village and the concert halls.
