Borderless Concert in Okinawa
This event has ended.
This Borderless concert was performed by people who love the arts, regardless of disabilities or not, and regardless of national borders.
The performers’ individual feelings and the rich traditions and music of Okinawa mingled together to create a wonderful stage!
The “Kiseki no Baton” chorus stage given by singer Junichi Inagaki united everyone in the audience to create a stage where a new baton for the future could be passed on to the next generation.
Thank you very much for coming to the event!
Music has no borders or boundaries.
This is a “Borderless concert” that aims to focus on artists who love music and would love to connect various people through music despite some disabilities, also artists not only from Japan but also from Asia.
Connecting across borders can be a great opportunity to meet and discover each other, and to learn about each other’s cultures.
We hope that this concert will make your next dream come true.
“I would love people to listen to my performance.”
“I would love to gain experience of performance on stage.”
“I would love to take a courageous step into the outside world.”
We will support you every step of the way!
Applications are now closed.
