Japan-Austria Society Kochi is a part of Japan-Austria Society Shikoku with a history of more than thirty years. Since 2022 Kochi started as a branch and already had some activities. From 2025 however, in order to have more extensive activities, the name „Japan-Austria Society Kochi“ was inaugurated with myself being president. It is a non profit organization without paying members and all activists are volunteers. Thereby we would like to have free and welcoming activities for all. Since we started without any funding, all activities will be funded by donations. Activists, guests and donors will therefore participate from the heart.
The title of the concert „Let us connect our hearts“ (Kokoro tsunagoou) is taken from the song by Naomi Noguchi (music and lyrics), The featured main guest is Lyre player Mayumi Uchino, who is a Kochi native (Aki city). The activities of the Austrian philosopher and teacher Rudolf Steiner had a profound impact on the development of music therapy. Nowadays lyre is an often used instrument in music therapy. In this concert lyre is not only featured solo but also together with voices which we think should be quite interesting.
Also Kochi resident Hina Ohno will not only accompany the singers but also perform solo. Dieter Pasching (Tenor) and Yuka Simeno (Soprano) will perform opera arias/duets, Lieder, etc.
