On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, Maizuru City held the "Maizuru City Hall Lobby Concert with a View of the Sea" in the Citizen's Hall on the first floor of the city hall.
For this event, we welcomed the duo unit "amapola," a rare combination in Japan featuring a Paraguayan harp and an alto saxophone.

During the performance, they showcased a diverse range of songs, including "Amazing Grace," the Latin classic "Coffee Rumba," and Hibari Misora's "Ai Sansan." The delicate, soft tones of the Paraguayan harp blended with the deep resonance of the alto saxophone, filling the Citizen's Hall with beautiful music.
Held during the lunch hour, the concert drew many visitors and citizens who stopped to listen, creating a calm and warm atmosphere.
Maizuru City will continue to host these lobby concerts as an opportunity for citizens to easily enjoy culture and the arts.
