Fighting continues in Ukraine. Repeated attacks by missiles, drones, and other means have left many people in mortal danger. As the cold winter approaches, it is becoming increasingly important to care for the physical and mental health of the people. Medical teams around the world are providing medical assistance to the wounded, taking great care to ensure their safety in areas close to the battle zone.
With the month of December, which is the month of donation, we would like to hold a charity concert to ask for more of your interest and support for the people of Ukraine.
We are pleased to invite Gen Tomuro, a pianist who participates in the International Long-Thibaud Competition in 2022. We hope you will enjoy the beautiful piano sound that he plays with hopes for an early return of peace and for the days when everyone is connected to medical care and can live a healthy life in mind and body. Your participation will help support the people of Ukraine
