Events Guide

The Communication Plaza September Weekend of Music 2025 concert welcomes the Shizuoka Prefecture based “Orchestra Enfant,” (enfant is French for infant) an amateur orchestra made up primarily of mamas and papas that was formed in 2022. With its basic concept of “Bringing together child raising and music to create bonds between individuals and the society at large”, this orchestra made up of couples in their child-raising years works actively to integrate music into their daily lives and work in fulfilling ways.

The music performed this time includes Anime songs and pop songs that everyone in the family can enjoy. Even if your little children should cry or fret, it’s OK. We hope families will feel free to come with their children of all ages.

For our August Weekend of Music concert, we are proud to present the Tsukiminosato Gospel Choir, an amateur chorus group that was formed in 2005. Under the direction of the jazz singer Kurachi Keiko, the chorus is actively performing with a dedication to the ideal of sharing the joy of singing while also placing importance on the messages that the songs are meant to convey. In addition to their regular schedule of concerts, the group performs in public music concerts and gospel festivals, etc., participating mainly in events in the western and central areas of Shizuoka Prefecture.

We hope you will enjoy this live performance of the impressive gospel harmonies of their songs celebrating the sacred joy of life, while also taking advantage of this opportunity to appreciate the special appeal of gospel music.
