We are delighted to return to Europe this autumn. Ever since our formation over 30 years ago, we have wanted to share JS Bach’s beautiful music with as many people as possible, from Japan to the wider world. We turned to recordings and online performances to do this in the last two years of the pandemic, and performed across Japan when possible. Returning to Europe is a greatly anticipated next step. We are so looking forward to seeing our European family again after such a long time, hopefully making some new friends, and sharing the joy of this wonderful music.
