活動理念

Our Approach

  • 団員の代表である幹事会を中心に団員が自主的に運営しており、自由闊達な雰囲気を持っています。
    The chorus is managed primarily by its members, with leadership provided by an executive committee representing the group, fostering an open and welcoming atmosphere.

  • 過去の合唱経験・音楽経験は問わず、オーディションは行いません。
    No prior choral or musical experience is required, and auditions are not held.

  • 優れた指揮者、ピアニスト、ボイストレーナーの指導の下、より高いレベルの混声合唱を目指しています。
    Under the guidance of an accomplished conductor, pianist, and vocal coach, the chorus strives to achieve a higher standard of mixed choral performance.

  • 演奏会以外にも、地域イベントでの演奏、ニューヨーク近郊の施設での演奏、震災や災害時の募金活動といった形で、地域の皆様に向けた活動を行っています。
    In addition to its concerts, the chorus engages in activities that serve the community and audiences, including performances at local events, visits to facilities in the greater New York area, and fundraising activities in response to earthquakes and other disasters.

  • 楽譜を正規に購入し、著作権者の権利を守っています。また、The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishersを通じて、演奏会で歌う曲の著作権料を支払っています。
    The chorus ensures that all sheet music is legally purchased and that copyright holders’ rights are respected. It also pays performance licensing fees for concert repertoire through the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
