Tokyo Sinfonia in Tohoku

This is another story from Golden week. I travelled up to the disaster zone with the Tokyo Sinfonia who played several concerts in the refugee centers.

This was another privileged experience. Two months after the quake, the authorities were reluctant to let anyone into the centers – least of all photographers.

But it was moving to hear the performances – and even more moving to see the reaction of the audiences.
