演奏する側で参加した今年最後のコンサート（？） １２月２４日
This year's last concert I participated in a group


「日光の社寺」世界遺産登録１５周年記念、日光ユネスコ協会設立１５周年記念として「講演と文化の集い」が日光総合会館で開催。今回は日光混声合唱団の一員としての出番もあった。幼稚園児童の太鼓のパフォーマンスは逸品。２３名が揃ってチームワークよくパフォーマンスをこなすというのが驚きである。指導の様子を是非見学したいものです。イベントは１時間近く予定がオーバー。クリスマスイブは仲間と外食してラーメンで終りました...。
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!
