About group

In 1999, about 20 people, laymen as singers but well known professionals in their own fields, got together to perform at an AIDS charity benefit concert.

Soon thereafter, the group was formally constituted. Members hail from wide range of backgrounds: politicians, businessmen, academics and cultural figures, ranging in age from 20 to 86. They perform and raise money at various charity events for causes such as the Children’s Earth Fund, the Afghanistan Ambulance Fund and Indian Ocean Tsunami aide.

Activities also extend outside of Japan. The first tour in 2003 went to Vienna, Graz and Berlin. The tour to Cuba followed in 2005. In 2006 the chorus performed in Honolulu, Hawaii, and they made their opera debut at the Festival Puccini in Italy in August of this same year. In 2007, they performed at Salle de Garnier in the Monte Carlo Opera House, attended by Prince Albert of Monaco. The performance at Sala Sao Paulo, was recognized as an official program of “100 Years of Japan & Brazil Friendship”in 2008.
