Chiyoda Art Festival 6th Summer Concert
The Chiyoda Art Festival’s action policy is to “deliver high-quality music to everyone from children to the elderly.”Through activities such as
the management of auditioned choirs (adults and children) featuring top guest choir leaders, the dispatch of musicians to elementary and junior high schools as well as welfare facilities and performances at Kyoritsu Auditorium and Hibiya Step Square, the festival’s goal is to develop and promote arts and culture by giving as many people as possible of all ages firsthand experience of high-quality music.
