What is Sora?

An intimate encounter with extraordinary music, performed by world-class artists just a few feet away.

Inspired by gokan, the Japanese concept of the five senses, Sora brings together music, culture, and hospitality. Meaning “sky” in Japanese, Sora embodies a spirit of openness, discovery, 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.
