We are a group of volunteer piano enthusiasts in Kitakyushu City and the suburbs of Fukuoka Prefecture who rent a venue with a grand piano and organize a piano playing session. Ms. Mizuho Okubo, who has performed with our group, won the third prize at the National Competition of Gakkon (held in November 2022), which is a gateway to success for young musicians. The Society would like to wholeheartedly support her will to become a violinist. Therefore, we decided to hold a violin mini-concert and a piano playing session together. After the concert, we will hold "#21 The 9th Piano Exchange Party @ Jiyugaoka Forest Hall in Munakata City" from around 2:40 p.m. after a short break. We look forward to seeing you there.
