It showered during yesterday evening’s concert, but that didn’t stop our crowd of 17 sartorially elegant socialisers from enjoying ourselves at the first dress-up event.

Our private classical concert
After the jazz concert at the park, we enjoyed dinner at Kaneko in Komagome. The other group in the restaurant with us were classical musicians. They played for about 15 minutes and finished off our evening on a wonderful note. Tracey captured a few seconds of video on her keitai during this private concert.

Posted by: Jenn on May 24, 2005 06:02 AMhello ! I’m a french violonist and just came back from a tour in Japan, which is one of my favourite country (I’ve been there 7 times) and I found out your blog when looking for some different ideas of things to do in Tokyo-i enjoyed very much Tanaka cimetery and the area around. Now I still visit your blog, and had fun with those videos ! The one called “bolero” should be renamed “carmen” in my pro opinion, as they play an excerpt from the famous opera ! good luck with all your plans !
