Saitama City Junior Chorus
The choir started with the call of "gather, children who loves singing!" by the Saitama city public house class in 2011. Members ranging from Nursery to High school are working hard to brush their senses and to make harmony with putting value on the group-oriented culture, in a place where "they can feel the fun and joy of singing together and express themselves". They are stacking up valuable experience through the Children's chorus festival, welcoming concerts with Cantemus children's choir, and UNICEF invited concerts etc. In concerts, with volunteers from various ages and places, they are giving joint performance for a "town ringing with the voice of singing". Their target is to express the excitement of chorus and to share the joy of music around the world, step by step with care and brave.
