As it has done for decades, Tokyo’s 121 year-old Imperial Hotel will once again be presenting a series of festive Christmas dinners and live concerts for the enjoyment of its guests and the general public this Holiday Season.
On Saturday, December 17th and Friday, December 23rd, the Tokyo FM Boys Choir of young sopranos will present live concerts of Christmas Season music at The Imperial, starting from 1:30 p.m. in the ground floor Lobby of The Imperial Hotel Plaza, followed by another performance from 3:00 p.m.
On Friday, December 23rd, the Tokyo FM Boys Choir appears from 3:00 p.m. in the ground floor Lobby of The Imperial Hotel Plaza, and again from 4:30 p.m. in the Main Lobby of the Main Building.
The performances are free of charge.
Also following a popular Holiday Season tradition, The Imperial is once again cordially inviting its guests, patrons and the general public to attend and take part in its annual Christmas Eve concert of carols and Yuletide classics, the first performance of which starts at 4:00 p.m. next to the Wall of Light in The Imperial’s Main Lobby. A second show starts at 6:00 p.m.
Both performances will feature the spirited sonorous voices of some 80 young men from the Waseda University Glee Club (pictured above) and the Keio University Wagner Society, chorus groups from two leading and rival Tokyo universities.
This year’s performances include many traditional Christmas carol favorites and each lasts some thirty minutes.
In the spirit of the season, Imperial Hotel guests and patrons and the general public are warmly urged to join in and sing along. These concerts are also free of charge.
