“At Deutsche Grammophon we are celebrating our 120th anniversary this year.
Preserving traditions, and always exploring innovative ideas has been in our history, ever since Emil Berliner invented the gramophone and founded the label in 1898.
Yellow Lounge was started with the objective to have people enjoy classic music in an urban and inviting atmosphere of clubs, lowering barriers for classical music enjoyment for younger demographics.
This format is enjoyed and supported in Europe and North America, and now it will start in Japan. We are grateful to present the Yellow Lounge series in Asia in partnership with VOLKSWAGEN GROUP.
We believe this is an extremely important start.
For this start we have asked a very popular artist collective in Japan called 【teamLab】 for our guests and audience to enjoy the great moments in music.
Collaborating the greatest digital artwork and great artists from Deutsche Grammophon, and Chihiro Yamanaka as a special guest, it will be a most unforgettable art experience.
We really hope everyone will enjoy this event.”
Clemens Trautmann proudly announce.

The artists who are going to appear at the Yellow Lounge is the label’s first Mix CD/tape DJ and a conductor Aoi Mizuno, who is studying conducting at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg, and Alice Sara Otto who will be releasing her first album “Nightfall”, and the jazz pianist Chihiro Yamanaka, whom we are head over heels with, and released a classic album “Utopia”, this year, and the fabulous cellist, Mischa Maisky.
So the theme for the event is “the fusion of classic music, which is the best acoustic music and the ultimate digital art.”
This event will be an unforgettable experience where artists will be using GVIDO, the world’s first electric music sheet terminal manufactured in Japan.
So as the theme suggests, this will definitely be an event to experience the one and only classic music.
