A Cultural Tapestry of Music, Friendship, and Shared Memories

Choir members of Escolania de Tomares, Seville, Spain who were invited to participate in the 11th Annual Circle Wind Concert held on September12, 2018, paid a visit to Ikuei Japanese Children's School in New Jersey on September 14.




It started with Principal Mr. Okamoto's welcome speech in Spanish and various performances by Ikuei students followed.


Girls of Tomares also demonstrated their wonderful performances by singing and dancing in return. They sang "Akai Hana, Shiroi Hana ( Red Flowers, White Flowers ) together and played together at the playground.





They really enjoyed the company of this special and unique culture exchange program. Some of the Japanese students with Ikuei School are scheduled to fly to Seville next spring as a member of Circle Wind Boys & Girls to participate in another culture exchange program there and will meet the girls of Excolania de Tomares in Seville again.
