Nishinomiya Boys’ Choir

The Nishinomiya Boys’ Choir was founded in 1961 as the first boys’ and girls’ choir in the Hanshin area with the aim of promoting cultural activities for the youth of Nishinomiya City. Since then, in the hope of contributing to the emotional education of young children, the choir has held concerts and other events to raise awareness of its activities among the general public, and is active as a boys’ choir worthy of the educational and residential city of Nishinomiya. There are currently about 120 members in the choir. They practice happily every Saturday.

About the Street Corner Concert Project

We will hold high-quality concerts in stores, plazas, and other street corners in the city. To promote the project, we have established the “Nishinomiya Street Corner Concert Executive Committee,” which plans and manages the events with the participation of musicians and volunteer citizens.

Nishinomiya, a City Where You Can Encounter Music

The “Nishinomiya, a Town Where You Can Encounter Music” project was launched in 2004 with the hope that Nishinomiya will be a town where encounters with music create rich emotions and where these emotions overflow into kindness towards others. Nishinomiya City hosts a wide variety of high-quality concerts sponsored by the city and its citizens, including city-wide events such as the Citizens’ Music Festival and Citizens’ Chorus Competition, and musical activities are also actively carried out in school education settings and community center activities.
