Tono Children’s Choir
The Tono Children’s Choir was founded May 1987. The choir is comprised mainly of middle school students, but members’ ages range from 5 and up. The choir sings traditional songs from Tono, such as “Warabe Uta”. They perform at City Arts Festivals, The Legends of Tono Fantasy, and so on. The choir holds a performance once a year.
Practice is held every Saturday, from 4 PM to 6 PM. You are welcome to come and watch class any time.
Iwate Prefectural Children’s Theater Performance
In order to more widely provide opportunities to award elementary school students who excel at theater arts, we hold this performance once a year. The date of the program changes each year.
Hosting Independent Projects
We welcome projects at the Tono Civic Center and the Miyamori Hall, and work in support of the artistic abilities of our city residents.
