The 2014 September Concert : Part 2

Third, we visited an European style house called "Hiratusuka no Yokan" in Kanagawa. It was built about 100 years ago and registered as a Unesco Tangible Cultural Site.

What a lovely house!

We sang eight of our original gospel songs before an audience of about 50 people.

They enjoyed listening.

Everybody was moved, so we received an encore at the end of the performance.

Some were interested in gospel music, so they asked about our next gospel concert! They said, "Please contact me when you hold your next concert."

Before the concert began...

We were served a cup of rose tea with rose cookies in the British style.
It was so delicious!

Another cup of tea...

Today was an unforgettable day.

Maple Syrup Festival

We were invited to perform in an event called "Maple Syrup Festival in Chichibu." We left a good impression. So the hosts of the festival invited us back!

Thank you!

They hold the event two times yearly in Spring and in Autumn.

We also plan to perform next spring!

There are many good things are made in Chichibu.

They make many things with their maple syrup such as cake, soda, cookies, ice cream and etc. We were given some cake and soda as gifts.

Today was pretty good for us!

The 2014 September Concert : Part 1

This year we were given the opportunity to perform on three stages in the "September Concert."

It was our first visit a nursing home in New Yokohama since last year.


It was a beautiful place and we were able to sing in front of about 150 people.

Second, we performed in JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency). There were many overseas students, so in English we explained the meaning behind our songs.

We sang "Jesus Didn't Forget About Me" by EJ from the Sound of the Wind 2 Songbook.

Many people listened with interest.

Some performers sang Japanese songs in Japanese traditional clothes called "Kimono." How lovely!

We will perform at Seibu Chichibu Station

We received a request to perform at a film festival in Chichibu. So we are scheduled to perform on September 15, which is a national holiday. We are singing in front of cake shops as part of a promotional event to highlight the maple syrup produced in Chichibu.

In any case, they gave us a permission to sing all of our original gospel songs on the stage!

Thank you!
