Upcoming Events This Week!

☆ #1: Classical piano performance by PNWJ Supporter on August 21st!

Professional classical pianist Takako Nojiri, an international performer who was also involved with the production of the Peace Not War Japan CD, will be performing at 7 PM on Thursday, August 21st at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan (Small Hall), located one
minute from JR Ueno station (http://www.t-bunka.jp/en/index.html). The performance will include the piece "Garden of Sadness" by Finnish composer Erkki Melartin, which Nojiri chose to include in order to express the emotions that she experienced during her recent encounter with a hibakusha in Nagasaki, as well as her strong hopes for the healing of the wounds that inevitably occur as a result of all wars.

Doors open at 6:30 PM for the performance. Nojiri san has graciously offered to give free concert tickets to PNWJ supporters, so anyone interested should e-mail her ASAP to reserve their tickets: intermezzo@y3.dion.ne.jp A donation box will also be on hand for those wishing to make a contribution. If you are unable to get in touch with her in time to arrange your ticket (we apologize for the last-minute nature of this notice!), the entrance fee is 4000 yen, which we are sure will be well worth it. ;)

Many thanks to Nojiri san for this fabulous opportunity!!
