Zoom performances with melodica and plucked string instruments!

We will hold the International Online Festival of Pun-Filled Music Day 2 on Saturday, November 28, 2020. Part of the “1010 People in Senju in 2020” program, this is a participatory festival in which you can enjoy online musical performances from different locations.
This time around we will be practicing and presenting two programs centering on (1)the melodica and (2) plucked string instruments (koto, ukulele, acoustic guitar, etc.).In addition to a YouTube live stream of performances on the day, you can participate in the performances if you own one of the instruments in question.

This project, launched as part of “1010 People in Senju in 2020,”is being held at a time when it is difficult for participants to physically get together in real locations. This event promises to be a special day to glitz up 2020, offering a changing variety of musical sounds and video on the other side of the screen. We invite you to view and enjoy an assortment of musical and on-screen fun only possible online. We plan to continue holding online musical performances for a variety of musical instruments after December.
