A Week in Maniwa — Quatuor B Recording & School Outreach

11 photos

Espace Hall and local schools · Maniwa, Okayama

Seven works recorded! The four of us celebrate at Espace Hall.

From 27 September to 2 October 2026, Quatuor B spent a week in Maniwa. We recorded seven works over three days at Espace Hall for our 20th-anniversary album, then visited Yatsuka and Kawakami Elementary Schools, Yubara Junior High School and Kashimura Elementary School. These eleven photographs recall time spent shaping our sound together and sharing music with children and local residents. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this week possible.

An everyday classroom becomes a concert venue, a place to share music together.
