Kawanishi City's 70th Anniversary "Ninth Special Concert

　This year is the 70th anniversary of Kawanishi City, our city, and we will perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony "with chorus" together with the chorus members at our 12th Regular Concert, which will be called "Kawanishi City 70th Anniversary Memorial Support Project: Ninth Special Concert"!
　The Ninth" has been one of our major goals for this group! The members have been practicing on their own and in parts earlier than usual in order to perform this long-sought-after and large-scale piece. We received enthusiastic guidance from conductor Hiroshi Sasaki and trainers. The choir group "Kawanishi Oke to Dai-ninth wo Utau Kai" (Representative: Ms. Masako Oichi), with whom we will perform together, has been preparing for this special concert for the past year with all their hearts.
　We hope you will enjoy "Ode to Joy" at Kisera Hall at the end of the year. We look forward to seeing you at the concert.
