ICC三鷹ジュニア合唱団
ICC Mitaka Junior Choir
Japan
ICC is the abbreviation for Iguchi Chorus Circle.
The choir was founded at Iguchi Elementary School in Mitaka City, Tokyo, about 20 years ago. We have been performing at various contests and recitals, aiming to reach the hearts of the listeners.
Junior and senior high school students ,university students ,who graduated from the elementary school have come to support and teach.The place where they grew up singing together as elementary school students is also a treasure for graduates.
The ICC is an important place for us.
Afterwards,graduates and elementary school students started singing together, and the multigenerational ICC Mitaka Junior Choir was formed.
The Choir received two Gold Prizes in the 3rd Tokyo International Choir Competition of the Children's Choir J and S.
In 2022、We began singing mixed choir and won Silver Prizes in two categories: children's voices and youth section mixed choir at the 2023 Tokyo Spring Chorus Contest.
