1. What is Izumi-ensemble?

Izumi-ensemble is a mixed chorus group led by Ms. Yoshie Kimura.

The group has 30members practicing at Bancho-Kyoukai (Bancho Church) in Yotsuya

once or twice in a month on Sunday.

We enjoy practicing in good echo of the Church getting  instructions from the expert of

Stockhausen’s music, Mr.Takashi Matsudaira, who helps us patiently to make

good harmony, rhythms and melody in a good humor. 

Our conductor, Mr. Kenji Ohtani will invite us into his world of music out from our usual life at his practice occasion.
