The Tono Children’s Choir was founded May 1987. The choir is comprised mainly of middle school students, but members’ ages range from 5 and up. The choir sings traditional songs from Tono, such as “Warabe Uta”. They perform at City Arts Festivals, The Legends of Tono Fantasy, and so on. The choir holds a performance once a year.

Practice is held every Saturday, from 4 PM to 6 PM. You are welcome to come and watch class any time.

In order to more widely provide opportunities to award elementary school students who excel at theater arts, we hold this performance once a year. The date of the program changes each year.

The Citizens’ Theatre is a theater where everything from script writing to casting and staffing is done by the hands of citizens.
It will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024.
The Foundation provides administrative support to the Citizens’ Theatre wherever possible.

The Tono Citizens’ Art Festival is held to provide an opportunity for citizens to present the results of their daily artistic and cultural activities, to motivate others to participate in cultural activities, to promote local art and culture, and to create a rich community.
