Bosse's soul rests in Kirishima
A monument in memory of Mr. Gerhard Bosse, one of the founders and the honorary musical director of the Kirishima International Music Festival, who passed away in February, will be erected on the premises of the Miyama Conceru in Kirishima City. His belongings including autographed musical scores and family photographs will be kept under the memorial, and it will be unveiled during the music festival before the special memorial concert for the German-born maestro which is to be held at the hall on July 29th.
The construction of the monument had been realised by donations solicited by three associations --The Friends of Musical Festival in Kagoshima, Makizono and Kirishima-- in line with Bosse's wish that his ashes be laid on the soil of Kirishima.
