The 199th concert welcomes babies and families

The Nakahara Ward Office holds these free concerts so people can enjoy real music close to home. For the 199th concert, it is using the Nakahara Ward Childcare and Child-Rearing Support Center for the first time, with a "Family Winter Stage" for parents and children that welcomes babies from age 0.

Mats will be laid on the floor so families can relax. It is a good choice for a child's first concert.

The performers are La Felice, an ensemble based in Kawasaki City: soprano Ikuko Akabane, clarinetist Takako Ouchi and pianist misato. All three members are raising children. They will play songs such as "Awatenbo no Santa Claus" and "Jingle Bells."
