Theme: Future of the City

With a theme of “Future of the City”, the third TEDxTokyoSalon will be held on March 25, 2016.
Needless to say, diversity of a city fuels creativity and brings out new cultures. Nowadays, it is said that City is the source of diversity, creation of demands, development of new products and services, as well as employment creation and it is “City” that leads the economy growth. During our session, we hope our participants bring out the “creative power of City”, and share their ideas of “What kind of society we want to live” and “What the future of our city will be”. As special guests, Elizaveta, a performer at TED Global, and Ting Kelly, Research Fellow of Long Now Foundation built by Stewart Brand, who is the daughter of the founding executive editor of WIRED magazine, will also show up in our sessions.

Elizaveta

Born in New York City to diplomat parents, Elizaveta grew up in Moscow. She's been playing piano since five years old. Elizaveta launched her own label ‘Flower Army Records’ in 2013. Since then, Elizaveta’s music has been featured in a cadre of films and television shows, such as “Pretty Little Liars,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Scandal” and “The Affair,”, she has also recently performed at the renowned TED Global Conference. Elizaveta’s new album ‘Messenger’ was out June 29, 2015. Her full length Russian language album was released late October 2015. Also look for her Japanese language EP and Chinese single late this summer. “2014 was a tumultuous year for many, and 2015 seems to pack a punch. My hope is that ‘Messenger’ can be a soundtrack to lift people’s hearts – make them smile, cry, dream and dance a little. A musical message in a bottle.”
