Tsunami Violin Concert Tour  to  Japan Concert Tour

The Japan Concert Tour although named differently, was made as a continuation to the Tsunami Violin Concert Tour in 2017.

This tour was built around our planned visit to the Tohoku region in Japan - where the Earthquake and Tsunami hit in 2011. Many people lost their lives in the tragedy and for the ones who survived are still recovering from the horror.

​

Through the funds raised from the Tsunami Violin Tour, and taking it directly to Tohoku - we wanted the people their to know that even from a country as far as New Zealand, there are always people thinking about them and wanting to help. We decided to give our funds to Yamada-Kindergarten in Yamada-machi, Tohoku. One of few buildings that survived the tsunami.

​

From this tour, and the visit Tohoku, our understanding and also the wish towards continuing to support the victims of the 2011 Earthquake & Tsunami got stronger.

​

Our tour was made possible with the involvement of many wonderful people - through our concerts, site visits, travel, accommodation, food and ofcourse New Zealand composer Xu Tang, Japanese composer Toshiaki Komori and Violinist Hiroko Kondo - we cant thank you enough! It has definitely been a memorable tour and i hope it will be for the ones who attended the concerts too.
