Chor Alyssum
Chor Alyssum
Japan
I was formed by members who are passionate about choral music. The group is working to realize the dream of Ichiro Uenishi,the musical director, to create a choral group based in the Kanto region, and to pursue academic music in various styles.
“Alyssum” is a flower that blooms in full bloom by producing many small flowers. We believe that each of us can create wonderful music like Alyssum by shining and blooming, and that is how we came to name our group. We aim to create music that pursues “profound beauty”, which is the language of the alyssum flower.
