The class will feature Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony," which has become a Japanese tradition at the end of the year, and a section where even complete beginners can experience it, as well as simple Japanese songs that karaoke lovers can also sing. This open class will be taught by Ms. Reana Ito （ ）, the first Japanese winner of the "American Prize" and selected as one of the "21 Top Japanese Conductors" （ Shinko Music ） and others, and accompanied by Ms. Yurika Mihara, accompanist at The Juilliard School and others. Mr. Ito said, "I have never performed the Ninth before. Mr. Ito said, "I would like people who know nothing about the Ninth to experience it, even if only once.

The Nippon Club Mixed Chorus Club was newly established last spring with Mr. Ito as its artistic director, following the dissolution of its predecessor women's chorus. Under the careful guidance of a team of professional musicians from renowned music universities, the club has performed at the UN Delegation and other venues in its first year of existence. In the future, the group aims to perform at Carnegie Hall and the United Nations.

Please feel free to join this open class and sing with us ！ We look forward to your participation.
