The Vienna Philharmonic (Wiener Philharmoniker) and Suntory Group launched Music Aid Fund in April 2012 to carry out subsidy programmes and concerts. The Vienna Philharmonic pledged a donation of one million Euros via Suntory Hall in hopes of conveying their condolences to their dearest friends in Japan who have been victimised by the earthquake damage. Having built up a bond of trust as a partner with the Vienna Philharmonic through many years of Japan tours by the orchestra, the Suntory Group established a matching fund in order to indicate our support for the offer.
