Monster Hunter Orchestra Concert ~Hunting Music Festival~

The Monster Hunter Orchestra Concert ~Shuryo Ongakusai~ ("Hunting Music Festival") features live orchestral performances of music drawn from across the Monster Hunter games, played by leading Japanese orchestras.

The first Monster Hunter Orchestra Concert was held in 2009 to mark the franchise's fifth anniversary. It became an annual fixture from 2014 onwards, and in 2024 - the series' twentieth anniversary year - it ran in four cities across Japan. Earlier in 2026, the concert went international, with a world tour between January and March that took in the United States, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan. This year's run includes the series' first-ever two consecutive days in Hyogo, with the music performed by the Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra and conducted by Hirofumi Kurita.
