After a break of six years due to COVID, Cowra’s favourite choir, Chor-Farmer will be making their long-anticipated return to town this month.
The renowned Japanese Choir, Chor-Farmer, a 27-member male choir made up of students and graduates from the Tokyo University of Agriculture will be making their 22nd visit to Cowra.
Prior to the pandemic, the choir, led by conductor Hiroshi Masumoto, has visited Cowra every two years since 1976.
They will perform only two concerts in Australia, with a performance in Adelaide, followed by a concert at the Cowra Civic Centre on Saturday Afternoon, 12th October at 2pm
All proceeds from the Cowra concert will go to the Cowra Seikei Student Exchange Program which this year is celebrating its 54th year of continuous 12-month exchange with Seikei High School in Tokyo.
