What is Sora?

Intimate classical salons in New York, with world-class musicians a few feet away.

Each one is rooted in Japanese culture and gokan, all five senses. Sora means sky, for openness and connection.

Gokan, all five senses.

It's the Japanese idea Sora is built on. The music comes first, and the rest of the evening is planned around it.
