Six years ago, TRS began recruiting members through a modest online campaign consisting of a simple free website and social media posts. While most choirs in Japan start as groups of friends or acquaintances, TRS began with just one individual. Today, it has blossomed into a nearly 30-voice choir.
Although recruitment began in 2020, TRS was formally established in 2021. Since then, we have performed at choral festivals and contests across Tokyo, gaining recognition for our varied repertoire and international membership.
TRS continues to explore and share music from various eras and languages with its singers and audiences, both in Japan and abroad.
【Our Singers】
Members of TRS are all amateur singers with varying levels of experience and skill, united by their curiosity and drive to explore diverse musical genres. Our singers come from a variety of backgrounds and are committed to fostering a welcoming community, regardless of profession, social status, cultural heritage, or sexuality.
【Our Music】
TRS is dedicated to singing a wide variety of repertoire, regardless of the era or language in which it was composed. We challenge our singers to grow by exploring music of varying difficulties, encouraging both personal and collective development.
【Our Activities】
To provide members with opportunities to perform and share their music with the community, TRS participates in choral festivals, contests, and other events throughout the year. We also organize social activities, such as meals, picnics, and karaoke, to nurture camaraderie within the group.
【Is TRS Right For You?】
TRS is a welcoming and dynamic choir that thrives on collaboration, growth, and musical exploration. We bring together singers with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skill levels to create a rich and supportive environment.
While some members are highly experienced, others are still developing their musical confidence. This balance is part of what makes TRS unique—our singers grow together, learning from one another while contributing to the success of the group as a whole.
If you are an experienced singer who enjoys sharing your knowledge and supporting fellow members, TRS can be a fulfilling environment. Rehearsals focus on refining technique, learning new approaches, and ensuring that everyone feels equipped to perform with confidence. Patience and a willingness to help foster group cohesion are invaluable traits in our choir.
At the same time, TRS expects all singers to take initiative in their own musical development. Our members practice independently to strengthen their pitch accuracy, rhythm precision, and language skills, ensuring rehearsals remain productive and engaging for everyone.
Above all, TRS is for those who love singing, learning, and building a community where every voice matters. If that sounds like the environment you’re looking for, we’d love to welcome you!
【Why Sing With TRS?】
TRS is more than a choir—it’s a community. We provide a safe space for singers to refine their craft while fostering meaningful connections. With our bilingual environment and diverse international membership, TRS is a great place to make friends and share your love for music.
Our members enjoy performing at multiple events throughout the year, as well as bonding through social gatherings. Whether you’re looking to sing, learn, or build friendships, TRS offers a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.
