Nikikai Kenkyukai Ekiden Concert

Eleven groups belonging to the Nikikai Kenkyukai will come together for this special performance of colorful masterpieces under the theme of "Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The program will be a relay of operettas and musicals, songs and opera arias from Russia, Italy, Germany, and France, as well as Japanese songs by Kousaku Yamada and cantatas by Bach, all of which will be performed in a format that makes the most of the unique characteristics of each study group. The program will include poetic selections that remind us of the changing seasons and passionate ensembles that capture scenes from operas, providing a fulfilling opportunity to fully enjoy the appeal of vocal music. A joint chorus is also scheduled to perform, and the stage will be filled with professional singers' voices for an outstanding performance. With all free seating and re-entry format, please enjoy this special time to immerse yourself in the world of vocal art throughout the day. We look forward to seeing you at the concert.
