Enjoyed La folle Journee

I went to classic music event "La Folle Journee" yesterday.
The event was born in France in 1995 and aims to give cizinzens oppotunities to listen to classic music on low price.
Also In Niigata, It has been held since 2010.

I wanted to take my childrens(3 yrs old and 4 monts old) a certain programme in the event named "A Concert from O year."  I'm pleased with the idea of the programme because I have images for classic concerts that it is hard to take little babies to the concerts.

Unfortunately, the tickets were sold out so we didn't enter.
However We enjoy the 15-minite concerts are held in the entrance hall of one of the event site "Ryutopia".

The pciture is the mini live by the local musician.

I hope my little childrens enjoyed and were inspired something from it.
Also hope the event will be held next year and then.

Niigata Art Festival

Niigata Art Festival begins today. The art festival is the second times following  the first in 2009.  The art festival features "Water" and "Land".(earth or soil), which are common sense and identities of  the  cities, towns and villages who united to the present Niigata city in these 10 years.

Niigata has two big and famous rivers Shinanogawa river and Aganogawa river. The rivers brought a lot of blessings of nature. However with heavy rain they had overflowed, which tough troubles to inhabitants. The forerunners conquered them to develop agriculture with the fertile land. It is not too much to say that History of Niigata has been with "water" and "land".

The festival which is held for five months until December consists of three parts of "Art Projects", "Citizen's Projects" and "Symposiums"
