Tsugaru Shamisen Benefit Concert a Success!

JASGA sponsored the OYAMA x NITTA DUO TSUGARU SHAMISEN BENEFIT CONCERT for the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund on April 11, 2011. The concert was generously supported by Asahi Imports, Asia Files, Ryu of Japan, Sushi-A-Go-Go, and St. Matthews Episcopal Church and was presented in partnership with the Japan Foundation New York.

Thank you for joining together in support of relief efforts for Japan.

And... we deeply appreciate the incredible performance of Nitta x Oyama Duo and  the St. Matthews Episcopal Church, who provided us the facility for the concert.

We posted the video clip  HERE .  Thanks to Leo Schuster, who will be entering college in Japan in September. Please also enjoy the photos at the concert.  Thanks to the photographer, Satoshi Tochiori. (Click the image to download the program: created by Eri Suzuki)
