December 2008 Tsukuba Cultural Schedule
Hello Everyone,
Shaney (the wondeful publisher of Tsukublog) and I spoke of offering a rough (emphasis on ROUGH) translation of 'what's on' each month at Nova Hall and Capio. Hopefully, this will be the first installment of what will be a monthly feature. It is a ROUGH translation because, after several experiments, we found the best results by simply machine translating the Tsukuba Cultural Foundation Home Page! Unfortunately (and although I am a translator), no easy way to fix the translation after the computer is done with it. However, it is all understandable. Please go to the following links for further information ...
and
I also apologize for the following descriptions being rather sketchy ... the Japanese page provides few details. Please contact the theatres, at the numbers listed, for further details.
Highlights for December (not yet sold out ... as appears to be already the Leningrad State Opera Orchestra on 12/22) include the following:
Beethoven's Ninth on Monday 12/29, at Nova Hall ... Y2000!
A FREE Christmas Jazz Concert on Sunday 12/14
Another FREE Christmas Concert (no details provided) on Tuesday 12/16
A Choir Concert (Y1000) on Friday 12/19
Three different classical and holiday concerts on Saturday 12/20
A FREE Christmas ballet performance on Sunday 12/21
A FREE Piano ensemble concert on Tuesday 12/23
A Doo-Wop concert by the Tsukuba U. Acapella Club on Saturday 12/27
Looking ahead to January, the big event seems to be a perfomance on Saturday 1/10 by members of the National Opera Theater of Leningrad (Y4000).
FINALLY, on a personal note ... we bought a house this year out by Yukari no Mori, plan to be here the next 20 years (spent the last 18 years in Tokyo). I hope to get to know many folks.
Happy Holidays! J.Cohen
