Mr. Sumiyama's Requiem Will Be Performed.

A requiem composed by Mr. Sumiyama, a father of one of the 9.11 Japanese victims, will be performed for the first time at the 2nd Circle Wind Memorial Concert on Sep. 11, 2009. This song was originally composed for mixed choir, but has recently been arranged as a duo for violin and piano. It will be performed by Ms. Eiko Hosoi, a violinist and Ms. Mari Sumiyama, Mr. Sumiyama's wife. Mr. Sumiyama mentioned that it should be the ultimate memorial for their son if his requiem was actually performed at the concert by the victim's mother and her friend.
