WELCOME MESSAGE

Hope this finds all of you well.　Again, we made a decision to hold the Kyoto Music Expo (Onpaku) this year on Sunday September 20th, during the long holiday weekend.
We Quruli and Onpaku staff can not be more excited to have you all.

We are finally finishing up with the line up for this year’s Onpaku. We are very psyched to share with you some surprise encounters, but making sure to maintain our usual identity of consistency, quality and a cosmopolitanism, which can only happen in Kyoto.
Also in addition, we are putting more emphasis on featuring the beauty of the venue, Umekoji Park.

Together with your support and the cultural/music scene of Kyoto, we would like to keep on nurturing Kyoto Music Expo, *in the way* such as organising a pre-event concert named Kyoto Music Expo presents MIYAKO MUSIK Vol.1.

This is the 9th year to hold the Kyoto Music Expo and our venue Umekoji Park is having 20th anniversary this year, which first opened in 1995. The park is becoming more fun and exciting, having Kyoto Aquarium, Kyoto Railway Museum and much anticipated opening of a new JR Station next year.

Onpaku is made possible in this beautiful park only with the support of local residents and also the Kyoto Greenery Association.
We are certainly looking forward and waiting for your smiles, with wonderful music here at Umekoji Park.

Shigeru Kishida, QURULI
