...COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS...

Now, in the waiting time leading up to Christmas, we welcome you to an Advent concert where we invite the audience into a meditative space.

We need both peace of mind and moments of respite in the year 2024.

Classical music has something timeless and infinite about it. It’s as if it gives voice to what cannot be put into words.

Here, you will hear classical works that, in various ways, offer both calm and time for reflection. The pieces will be performed a cappella, and between them, you will hear organist Mariko Takei.

Welcome!
