Choir Sakura

Choir Sakura (previously known as Choir Nadeshiko) has been performing at Wai-Con since 2007. This group of Japanese mothers have stunned us with a beautiful range of Japanese folk songs and many classics from Ghibli movies. This year, we are lucky enough to be able to give you their programme for their Wai-Con in advance. Make sure you see Choir Sakura at Wai-Con, 11am on Saturday 23rd in the Riverside Theatre.
