Senda Pan Flute Choir
During the Performing Arts Week of the Kaleidoscope of Culture, Senda Pan flute choir, the children’s choir from Hiroshima, conducted by Hiromitsu Šimamoto, and the Bajićevi slavuji from Novi Sad, founded and led by Ana Kovačić, will perform in the District on September 15 at 7 p.m.
The Senda Panflute Choir was formed in April 2011 from the Senda Elementary School Chorus Club, which had previously existed at Senda Elementary School, and began community-based school music education activities as the Senda Elementary School Chorus. In April 2021, the choir changed its name to the Senda Pan Flute Choir and now consists of 25 students from the second to sixth grades of Senda Elementary School and Senda Elementary School graduates, who are engaged in musical activities to ‘send peace from Hiroshima to the world’ through choral singing and performances of the A-bombed tree Kaizukaibuki Pan Flute.
In 2014, the Hiroshima City-designated A-bombed tree Kaizukaibuki in Senda Elementary School sadly died before the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing. However, thanks to the efforts of many people, the tree was revived as the A-bombed tree Kaizukaibuki Pan Flute on the 70th anniversary of the bombing. Today, it is revived as 107 pan flutes. The pan flute made of the A-bombed tree Kaizukaibuki is playing an active role as a messenger of peace from Hiroshima to the world with the choral activities of the Senda Pan Flute Choir. Since 2015, the Senda Panflute Choir has incorporated the A-bombed tree Kaizukaibuki Panflute into its activities, and has been working widely with the goal of ‘musical activities to convey peace from Hiroshima to the world.’
Bajićevi slavuji are a children’s choir that has been continuously spreading positive energy and love for music for 25 years. In addition to numerous concerts, Nightingales are also known for the children’s opera “Forest Queen” by F. Štefanović, the musical “Girl with Matches”, the educational musical for teenagers “TinTok”. The movements are the children’s humanitarian action “Musicians with a Big Heart”.
