21 June 2026 Summer Song	Concert with Japanese songs in the Delft Hortus On Sunday afternoon, June 21, from 15:00, chamber choir Ars Vocalis from Delft will give a concert in the Delft Hortus Botanicus. The program consists partly of Japanese folk songs (Furusato), arranged by Bob Chilcott. We will sing these songs partly in Japanese. Because we have a Japanese conductor (Takashi Mizumoto) we think this will work! We would really appreciate it if we could greet listeners from the Japanese community.
