“TOKYO Chanson Festival” was started 1１years ago under the ideal of “Making Tama Area a Mecca for Chanson”. With the participation of general citizens and promoting networks among various organizations related to chansons, we aim at creating a major music cultural base hopefully to be referred to as “If You Want to Enjoy Chanson, Go to Tama!”. We also hope it will eventually vitalize the local community through music and enhance a cultural level of Tama Area as a whole.
This year’s “11th TOKYO Chanson Festival” was composed of “Chanson Promenade” participated by amateur singers on March　9 , “Chanson Drama; Muse of Montparnasse”, an integration of drama, chanson and pictures, and “Chanson Gallery” by18 professional singers including Linda Yamamoto and Gomei Kishimoto as guest singers on March 10.
