ARTS & MUSIC FESTIVAL KYOTO · 202708–10 AUGUST 2027 · ROHM THEATRE KYOTO
Sōkyō Arts Music Festival in Kyoto 2027 · The full journey

How to register, screen by screen

Real screens from the registration system walk you through the group route and the individual route, from submitting an application to an active e-credential. Every step says who acts, what they do and what the system does next.

Why every application is reviewed first

Registration is therefore more than filling in a form. The Executive Committee reviews every application first, confirming the ensemble, category and completeness of the information, and only then opens full registration, plan selection and payment. This step ensures that every ensemble and performer who steps onto the stage of ROHM Theatre Kyoto is looked after to the same standard: stage, rehearsal, accommodation and transport, right through to certificates and visa documents.

Reviews are carried out by the Executive Committee. If anything is missing you receive an email about that specific item; no application is declined silently.

Group route · 7 steps

The leader submits one application; each member fills in their own details.

    Each person’s fees are itemised on their own page under Fees & payment (plan, masterclass, instrument rental, massed ensemble…), priced per person. Members can transfer individually, or the leader uses Group collective payment to transfer the group total once and record it.
