However their repertoire is large, Gregorian chants, baroque, romantic, contemporary music in Latin, German, Russian, English, Finnish, Japanese and so on, at times unaccompanied, at other times accompanied by piano, organ, oboe or other instruments. They are aiming to achieve a prayer-like sound and by their performance, they try to touch people's heart and hope for everyone's happiness. They performed in Karuizawa International Choral Festival in 2013 and 2016, in the joint concert with Brilliant Harmony and Female Choir "Utahime" in 2017 and in Takarazuka International Chamber Chorus Contest in 2018.
