This chorus club celebrated its 79th anniversary in 2025. Although still in high school, our choir is eager to tackle major works such as 「Messiah」 and 「Beethoven’s 9th Symphony」, and has been participating in the "Ongakudo Messiah Future Project" , performing with professional soloists and the Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2019, our choir premiered Mrs. GREEN APPLE's "Boku no Koto" (Chorus Version). The annual spring subscription concert is the culmination of our choir’s activities, and our choir is active in performances in the community as well as competitions. We have performed not only in Japanese, but also in English, Latin, German, and many other languages. In 2025, our choir won the bronze prize at the NHK Chorus Competition Kanto Koshinetsu block, and also won the bronze prize at the Japan Choral Association Competition Kanto.
