The AJSW has organised over 300 classical music concerts showcasing the incredible talents of Japanese musicians, both student and professional. For this Anniversary Concert, an impressive selection of no fewer than 12 young musicians, under the direction of pianist Akiko Murakami and violinist Kazue Yanagida, come together to share their individual and combined talents through a programme of enticing classics, opening with Mozart's brilliantly inventive Divertimento in D and including Borodin's Nocturne (for string quartet) and Massanet's Meditation (violin / piano), colourful two-piano / four player arrangements by Rosenblatt and Saint-Saens, and charming works for string ensemble.
Artists appearing at the 15th anniversary concert:
Top row: Jung Yoon Cho, Aya Halder, Ryoko Harada, Kaya Kuwabara, Mansoon Bow, Kumi Matsuo
Bottom row: Elizabeth McGrath, Aiki Mori, Akiko Murakami, Yukiko Shinohara, Hiroko Yamamoto, Kazue Yanagida

St George’s Bristol (Photo: rbrwr@Flickr)
St George's Bristol was built in the 1820s and was originally known as the church of St George's Brandon Hill. When the church fell into disuse in the 1970s, it was taken over by a group of local music enthusiasts who turned it into a popular concert venue. The building was extensively refurbished in 1999, and has established itself as one of the country's leading venues for a diverse range of musical genres.
It is situated not far from Bristol Cathedral, a short walk from Park Street. The entrances are on Great George Street (Box Office entrance) and Charlotte Street (disabled access).
