Melody of Japan held its annual winter concert.
On Sunday, December 15th, Melody of Japan held its annual winter concert in Freiman Hall at the University of Ottawa’s Music Department.
It was a wonderful concert conducted by director Noriko Hashimoto and accompanied by pianist Kaho Sonohara. Although we cannot show you all the beautiful music, please enjoy the video and photos Nora Nishikawa took.
We give great appreciation to everyone who participated in this year’s Mochitsuki 2024.
As vibrant as ever, Mochitsuki 2024 featured incredible performances, a dynamic Used Goods Sale and Market of Japanese goods and products, and of course Mochi, Daifuku, Yakisoba and Sushi.
