Hana and Niji
Japanese Language School Children’s Group
The children’s chorus group “Hana,” which means flower in Japanese, is from the St. Louis Japanese Language School. The songs they perform have a sound that is both beautiful and nostalgic. The students, who range in age from 4 to 10 years old, wear casual summer kimonos and will be singing and dancing. While viewing the performance, you will soon realize that you do not need to understand Japanese in order to enjoy their performance. Saturday, 2 p.m., Shoenberg Theater.

Japanese Choral Group
This year’s Niji program will feature music about mountains, oceans, and islands in Japan. Some songs will feature Japanese instruments, such as the Koto and shamisen. Saturday, 2 p.m., Shoenberg Theater.
