The annual Tokyo Summer Festival, organized by the Arion-Edo Foundation in cooperation with Asahi Shimbun, has been thought up in 1985 by Kyoko Edo (pianist), Maki Ishii (composer) and Tashi Funayama (musicologist), who joined hands to plan a truly international music festival in Tokyo at a time when there was no such event in Japan. This epoch-making festival is the first in Japan planned and directed by professional musicians. The festival takes place under a different theme each year and invites outstanding artists from all around the world in order to let the public discover various styles of music, from classical to world music. Many of the participating artists perform for the 1st time in Japan. == Festivals in the past == 1985: Music, Exoticism and Orientalism - The Maturity and Transformation of Occidental Music- 1986: Pan-nationalist Music - Focusing on Russian/Soviet Music 1987: Creation and Performance- Beyond Ethnicity Focusing on the Music of the U.S.A. 1988: Paris - Paris 1989: German Romanticism - Development and Countermovement - Dawn for Berlin 1990: The Gypsies and European Music 1991: Sound Across the Continents and Oceans - Music from Abroad and the Culture of Japan 1992: Italy - well-spring of voice and sound - 1993: Visions of India 1994: Transformation and New Perspectives 1995: Patterns of Laughter - Masques, Music, and Buffoonery - 1996: The Harmony of the Spheres I: The Woman Ascending 1997: The Harmony of the Spheres II: Myths and Legends 1998: The Ballets Russes of Diaghilev and the Twentieth Century - Provocateur in Arts - 1999: Performance: Art and Artistry 2000: Camera!
