Takanabe Town Local Revitalization Cooperator Satsuki Imamura's Christmas Concert: "Romanian Christmas"

About this event

Musicians active in Miyazaki Prefecture present a heartwarming Christmas concert, "Romanian Christmas." Headed by Satsuki Imamura, a pianist who also serves as a Takanabe Town Local Revitalization Cooperator, the performance combines piano, vocals, cello, and saxophone with storytelling readings to deliver famous songs that celebrate Christmas alongside traditional folk tales passed down in Romania since ancient times. Performers include Satsuki Imamura, who performs across a wide range of genres; Hitomi Yamamoto, a vocalist with a diverse repertoire; Nagisa Hamasuna, a cellist performing extensively inside and outside the prefecture; and Hiroko Yamakawa, a saxophonist who produces numerous Romania-related concerts. The reading will be handled by Akiko Maeda, active widely as an announcer, actress, and recitation artist, guiding the audience into the world of the Romanian folktale "The Strung Pearls." Musicians active across diverse genres based in classical music gather to offer a moment enjoyable for both children and adults. In addition, sales of sheet music and folk crafts by Romanian composers are planned on the day. Furthermore, prior to this performance, a "Romania Experience Program" aimed at elementary to high school students will be conducted, where participants learn Romanian Christmas carols and perform in the pre-concert on the day of the event. Aiming to promote international exchange, this program provides an opportunity to encounter different cultures through music. This performance has been selected as a support project by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, and elementary, junior high, and high school students aged 18 and under are invited free of charge.
