Fujiwara Opera Chorus Group performance in Cork

Supported by the Agency for Cultural Affairs Government of Japan
 

The Fujiwara Opera Chorus Group, which performed in many operas and other concerts in Japan, appeared in the Opera Gala at the Grand Finale for Cork 2005 in the Cultural Capital of Europe Cork 2005. Also appearing in the Gala was Paolo Gavanelli, the Italian baritone who has performed with the Fujiwara Chorus previously, and Cork 2005 closed with an evening of wonderful music.
The Fujiwara Chorus also gave a mini-concert for the children of the Cork Children's Chorus, which is locally vigorously active. The children responded enthusiastically.
We hope that this encounter will prove fruitful in the further development of activities for both Japan and Europe.
