With the wish to provide aid to disaster-affected areas throughout Japan, applications have been accepted from groups and individuals around Japan over the ten years since the grant’s establishment in 2012 in order support their musical activities. Up to now the Music Aid Reward has been granted to 156 concerts, workshops, and other activities, and a total of 90,950,000 yen has been awarded in grants.

Members of the Wiener Philharmoniker have continued to visit disaster affected areas to hold concerts and provide musical instruction to children. They visited Miyagi in 2012, Iwate in 2013 and 2015, and Fukushima in 2014. To mark five years of activities in 2016, a joint concert was held at Suntory Hall with the Sendai Junior Orchestra and children from Iwate and Fukushima. In 2017, the Wiener Philharmoniker held a concert in Kumamoto, which was struck by an earthquake a year earlier. The orchestra continues to work with children in disaster affected areas with events held in Fukushima in 2018 and in Miyagi in 2019.
As the project was unable to visit disaster affected areas due to Covid-19 in 2020, a video performance of the SUNTORY HALL & WIENER PHILHARMONIKER School Program was provided for junior high schools and high schools in those areas as an online music appreciation material.
