The 7th joint training session is being held in Fukushima City.

Today, December 23rd (Sunday), we held our last joint practice session of the year at Fukushima Minpo Hall in Fukushima City. Director Ryuichi Sakamoto also joined us from the morning, and in the morning, composer Dai Fujikura held a composition workshop. Cellist Satoshi Yamazawa demonstrated a special playing technique, and the members performed their completed pieces on the spot.
When the afternoon practice resumed, we took official photos. The Fukushima Minpo and Iwate Nippo newspapers, as well as two TV cameras, were there, so everyone was a little nervous. In the afternoon, we plan to practice "Kugui no Sora," a commissioned piece written by composer Aya Nishina from Director Sakamoto's "Blu," and Brahms' Symphony No. 2.
