In 2023, we will hold the long-awaited second edition of "An Evening of French Choral Music," which has been well received!

In addition to the widely sung gems of choral music by C. Saint-Saens and F. Poulenc, we will perform the most advanced a cappella choral music of France's contemporary period by P. Zavalo, Th. Machuel, and E. Tanguy, whose choral works have rarely been performed in Japan.
Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy the "now" of French choral music in one evening.

The chorus will be led by the mixed choral ensemble Verset Versé, which made an impressive debut at the JCDA Choral Festival 2022 Kita-Topia Choral Festival with a performance of "Water Prayer" by Akira Nishimura, conducted by the composer himself.
For some of the pieces, the ensemble will be joined by members who passed the audition and were recruited from the public. We hope you will enjoy the performance.
