KCG Group will hold a violin recital as part of its 50th anniversary celebration as follows.We hope that not only students but also the general public will appreciate the exhibition.Admission is free. Please register in advance.
The violin to be played at the recital was made by violinist Muneyuki Nakazawa and his wife Kimiko (the player for this recital) after seeing the "Miracle Pine Tree" in Rikuzentakata City, which withstood the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and has supported the people of the disaster area, and collecting driftwood from the rubble in hopes that it would convey memories of the disaster and offer hope to those seeking recovery.All of the players are active internationally, performing in concerts around the world.
Since its foundation, the university has incorporated general education courses into its curriculum to cultivate the intellect and sensitivity of students in addition to specialized skills, and holds various cultural lectures, classical music concerts, and traditional performing arts appreciation events.
