ルワンダでコンサートを開催しました！/ We held a concert in Rwanda!

ルワンダのカヨンザ郡のGS Muzizi小・中学校にて Naruto University of Education Music Festival を開催しました。テーマは「世界を旅する」。音楽科教育コースの日下瑶子先生と学部4年生の加集菜月さんがプログラムを考えてくださり、これまで練習してきた成果を発揮して、ルワンダの皆さんと楽しい時間を共有することができました🎉🎉 Harmonyが垣根を越えることを、改めて体感することができました。GS Muzizi小・中学校のWilliam校長先生をはじめ、関係者の皆様に心より感謝申し上げます🙇

さらに、レイ・アドベンティスツ・オブ・キガリ大学（University of Lay Adventists of Kigali）でもコンサートを開催しました。約300名もの学生の皆さんにご鑑賞いただき、会場は終始、熱気と笑顔に包まれました。 日下瑶子先生の演奏では、特徴的で楽しいリズムに学生さんたちが反応し、演奏の途中から自然と拍手が沸き起こる場面も見られました。「カエルの合唱」では、加集菜月さんが約300人の学生を8グループに分け、見事に全体をまとめ上げ、輪唱を完成させました。 続く「カノン」では、トーンチャイムを用い、ルワンダの学生さんと一緒に音楽を創り上げる参加型の演奏を実施。国や言葉の違いを越えて、音楽そのものを共有する時間となりました。最後は「ジングルベル」を全員で演奏し、会場は最高潮の盛り上がりを見せました。 このような素晴らしい機会を企画いただいた、レイ・アドベンティスツ・オブ・キガリ大学の皆様にも心より感謝申し上げます。

We held the Naruto University of Education Music Festival at GS Muzizi Primary and Lower Secondary School in Kayonza District, Rwanda. The theme of the festival was “Traveling the World.”
The program was designed by Dr. Yoko Kusaka from the Music Education Course and Natsuki Kashu, a fourth-year undergraduate student. By showcasing the results of their dedicated practice, we were able to share a truly joyful time with the people of Rwanda 🎉🎉

Once again, we were able to deeply experience how harmony transcends borders. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Principal William of GS Muzizi Primary and Lower Secondary School, as well as to all those involved 🙇

In addition, we also held a concert at the University of Lay Adventists of Kigali. Approximately 300 students attended the concert, and the venue was filled with excitement and smiles throughout the event.
During Dr. Yoko Kusaka’s performance, the students responded enthusiastically to the unique and playful rhythms, and spontaneous applause arose even in the middle of the performance. In “Frog Chorus,” Natsuki Kashu divided the approximately 300 students into eight groups and skillfully brought them together to create a successful round singing performance.

In the following piece, “Canon,” we conducted a participatory performance using tone chimes, creating music together with Rwandan students. It became a moment of sharing music itself, transcending differences in country and language. The concert concluded with “Jingle Bells,” performed by everyone together, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone at the University of Lay Adventists of Kigali for organizing and making possible this wonderful opportunity.
