Outline

While the influence of COVID-19 still continues, the Ogikubo Music Festival has set its own COVID-19 countermeasure guidelines and reduced the scale to about one-third of the conventional one. The 4th “Ogikubo Youth Ensemble Concert” started practice in August when the infection status of COVID-19 was still high, and it became a performance that can be said to be a masterpiece with careful infection control and devoted guidance of support players. In addition, as a project that allows children to participate in concerts, three “concerts for parents and children to enjoy” were held, all of which were well received. At the “7th Mirai Yume Concert”, an all-Suginami junior high school student band who participated in the “Brass Band Workshop” organized by the NPO Suginami Children’s Support from this year participated in the stage. Although the participation of Haramachi Daiichi Junior High School in Minamisoma City was not realized this year, we were able to realize online performances and exchanges by ZOOM and send out the message “Let’s stay connected forever”.

Profile

“Ogikubo, the town where you can enjoy classical music”
The “Meeting for Thinking about Ogikubo in the 21st Century” was formed to think about how to make the city of Ogikubo easier to live in, such as the maintenance in front of Ogikubo Station and the environmental problems surrounding Ogikubo. The “Ogikubo Music Festival” started in 2000 with the concept of creating the city of Ogikubo through classical music and revitalizing the city.
