About the Singing Group

  The singing group was established in 2008 upon the proposal by MR.& Mrs. Masaki Seo, the President of NJS at that time, and started its activities in September, 2008.The Singing Group aims, through its singing activities, to promote  the goal set by Norway-Japan Society (NJS) of mutual understanding & friendship and cultural exchange between Norway and Japan.

We welcome those who like singing songs, especially Norwegians living in Tokyo area and wish to make friends with our society. In order to participate in the singing group, you are kindly requested to become a member of the NJS.

The singing group gather at the Aurora Hall of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Hiroo twice a month to sing beautiful songs by Edvard Grieg, a great Norwegian composer, and well known Japanese songs by Japanese composers. The group performs at the NJS New Year’s Party in mid January and at the NJS General Meeting in end of May every year.

Occasionally we have lunch or dinner gatherings as well. We look forward to you joining us!
