10 years of Fukko Concert

Today is the 10 anniversary of the big catastrophe that hit the Great East Japan in 2011.

Every year on that day from Brussels, our heart goes to the people of Tohoku. We believe the recovery through live music. Unfortunately the concert cannot be held this year. Through this music and memories, we would like to share our deepest thoughts in this challenging time. Big Thanks to our dear audience, sponsors, embassies and all the people who made it possible during this 10 years.

遠く離れたベルギーから 毎年3月11日に祈りを捧げてきました。 音楽を通じた復興への祈りです。 東北の皆さんと心を通わせる 3月の大切な演奏会でした。 そこで、 長い10年という年月を 皆様とご一緒に振り返るため ささやかではありますが 復興コンサートの想い出を 分かち合いたいと思います。

The 9th edition of Fukko Concert was possible thanks to all of you!

As musicians who are now struggling in this difficult time with the unexpected situation, we really appreciated your support and attention for 2020’s edition.

In order to bring you sorrow and hope, we decided to share our concert, the Beethoven Violin Concerto.

Some pictures are also shortly coming.
Stay tuned!

Fukko Concert is a series of charity concerts for the victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami in Tohoku region of Japan in 2011.

Together with internationally renowned musicians, the Brussels based Japanese violinist Yuzuko Horigome has performed as the leading figure to raise donation to be used for music-related events and replacement of damaged musical instruments in those devastated regions.
