Business Overview
Six groups of musicians with disabilities (E.G., hemiplegia, upper limb injury, aphasia) that directly affect their ability to play musical instruments or sing songs performed in this concert. A flute player with a disabled left hand played an instrument modified for one-handed use with his right hand, and a pianist with a disabled right hand played with his left hand alone. For the performers, it became an opportunity to perform and a place for exchange between performers in similar situations across genres. At the same time, it is an effort to raise public awareness of the need to make musical instruments more accessible in the field of music, and to promote the simple beauty of music in the context of limitations.
