This year's last concert I participated in a group
Nikko UNESCO association organized a big event to commemorate the 15th anniversary of registration of Nikko world heritage site as well as the 15th anniversary of the establishment of Nikko UNESCO association at Nikko major community hall today. Our choir group also performed in this event. The most attractive one was the one by 5 years old kids' drum performance. Their perfect way of playing different kinds of drums was just amazing. We want to see how the coaches have been training them in such an effective way. The event took much longer time than scheduled. I finished up my Xmas eve with one bowl of ramen on the way back home...quiet Xmas eve..
聴衆側からの鑑賞した今年最後のコンサート 12月28日
This year's last concert I enjoyed in the audience
今日はコーラスのメンバー達と恒例のPiano Duo Concertに。コーラスを指導されている宮地先生と同志の大山秀子さんによるピアノのデユオは迫力満点。中でも「カルメン」演奏会組曲の中のアラゴネーズには大喝采。アンダルシア地方の活発な舞曲は4手が鍵盤の上をすべり、躍動感溢れたもの。素晴らしい演奏でした。
We went to the annual piano duo concert by Ms.Miyaji and her colleague. She is our commander of a women's choir group. Their performance was great and so energetic that the audience was totally overwhelmed. I enjoyed the most the number 「 A la Gonaise(?)」 expressing the active dance of Andalusia、Carmen suite for concert, played by them in such a powerful and delicate way with their fingers dancing on all of the keys. Fantastic!
