Mille-Uno

Mille-Uno

Mille-Uno was formed in 2005 by Toyoaki Tanaka, tenor singer and choir conductor, and a group of friends who wanted to enjoy ensemble singing. "Mille" is Italian for “Thousand” and "Uno" for "One". Named “Mille-Uno”, our journey of a thousand miles began with a single step. Since then, we have been singing a cappella works in a wide range of genres from Renaissance to contemporary songs. Recent years, we have returned to our original intention, that is, Renaissance works. Five years in a row since 2018, we received awards at Renaissance-Baroque category of “Tokyo Spring Chorus Contest”, including the first prize in the category as well as President's Award of the Tokyo Chorus Association in 2020,2022.
