Chanson Drama “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
“Chanson Promenade”
“TOKYO Chanson Festival” was started 12years 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 “12th TOKYO Chanson Festival” was composed of “Chanson Promenade” participated by amateur singers on February 29 , “Chanson Drama; A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, an integration of drama, chanson and pictures, and “Chanson Gallery” by19 professional singers including Mari Henmi and others as guest singers on March 1.
TOKYO Chanson Festival Committee
The Committee was established in 2011, with the participation of mainly chanson loving local citizens, to plan, organize and execute TOKYO Chanson Festival. Since May, 2012, the Committee has held Chanson Festival almost each year with the only exception of 2020 when the planned Festival was forced to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Festivals have also been supported by many local companies.
