" " holds lectures and workshops under the theme of "enriching life in Karuizawa."Hoshino Community Base"We would like to report on the Karuizawa Forest Piano "Forest Recital" that was held the other day.

Karuizawa Forest Piano has been held since 2021 with the desire to allow people to enjoy music in a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by rich nature during the autumn season of art. This year, we have also planned a "Forest Recital" with the hope of connecting with local people through music and creating an event together.

Nine people, ranging from children to adults, participated in the "Forest Recital" held on September 9th. At first, everyone seemed a little nervous, but as they introduced themselves and rehearsed, conversation flowed naturally, and the venue was filled with a warm atmosphere as the recital began.

The participants had been practicing diligently for this day. It was impressive to see them playing their usual practice pieces and favorite melodies in the open space of the Karuizawa forest, with a relaxed and free-spirited performance. Passersby even stopped to enjoy the beautiful sounds and get into the rhythm together.

To conclude the recital, all participants sang "Paprika" with great energy. The singing voices echoing along with the piano accompaniment and the beaming smiles of the audience were truly a wonderful moment that will remain in our hearts. In the pleasant autumn weather, surrounded by the beautiful sounds of the piano and many smiles, a peaceful and fulfilling time flowed through the forest.

On the day, the weather was perfect for autumn, and the time passed peacefully, surrounded by the beautiful sounds of the piano and everyone's smiles.

A warm circle of friendship was born through music in the forests of Karuizawa. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated and to everyone who warmly watched the recital.

The next time we'll meet will be "Nice to meet you duet"!

Hoshino Community Base will be hosting a "Nice to Meet You Duet" event on September 9th. Based on the concept of "It's fun if you can play a little," this program prioritizes enjoyment over skill. Whether you're new to duets or haven't played the piano in a while, everyone is welcome. Thirteen easy-to-follow sheet music options are available, so even solo participants can feel free to participate. Everyone will choose a playing partner together, and the results of their practice will be showcased in a mini concert. Playing in harmony in the forest will surely be a special and unforgettable experience.
