Japanese July 25, 2003: The 29th YMF Record (part 6) YMF: Yufuin medieval western music visiting |
|
Kinrin pond attracts many visitors from early in the morning. |
|
Ducks enjoy morning water. We will have a concert at an art museum.
I started to get there on foot. |
|
Staffs passed me by car one after another. I have been getting tired with heavy bags in hands and asked them to bring for me. It took about 30 minutes after all. | |
Artegio was newly built in last October in Yufuin Fantasy Forest. The exhibitions displayed on the floor were removed for the concert. Takei stands in the center of the floor. |
|
The staff of Medieval Music Research flock in twos and threes. | |
We have enough time before the start. We enjoyed wonderful tea and greens outside of the building. Sudden shower reminds me of an atmosphere of autumn. |
|
Tasty teas | |
refreshed us. Male staff bring in the stage. As it was wet with rain, female staff wipe them up. |
|
Foldable chairs were set up like this. | |
A snap in front of a glass ornament. | |
Tuning has started on the stage. | |
Chorus rehearsal started as well. | |
The performance started at last. Oita Medieval Western Music Research Society sings wonderful chorus under the conduct of Shigemi Takei. |
|
The souvenir corner attracts many guests. | |
The guest artists are Shigeharu Yamaoka of English flute and Masako Hiraoka of Viola Da Gamba. | |
Takei is happy with the members after the performance. | |
The couple of Yamaoka and Hirao have performed very well. An old musical instrument Viola Da Gamba and Hirao's costume match very well. |

July 25, 2003: The 29th YMF: Michio Kobayahi harpsichord recital |
|
After cleaning up the site and checking the sales, we soon headed to Tokyu Golf Club for the evening concert. | |
The last golfer went back and we started the preparation of the site. | |
The performance will be held in a spacious hall on the second floor of the club house. Mt. Yufu stands beautifully in the distance. "The rainy season was over today", TV said. |
|
Michio Kobayashi always explains the music politely. Many guests expect it and his wonderful art. | |
