The 2nd 'Blazing Autumn People's Concert' (6)

 Following an intermission, the orchestra reappeared along with amateur chorus members of TAF (Tokyo Art Foundation) . The chorus group was established 21 years ago, and has been awarded a gold prize three times at an International Choir Competition in China.
 Backed by them, Dr.Handa and the other four invited singers took turns singing 18 songs, and "Hallelujah" from "Messiah."
 Finally, Dr.Handa asked the audience to stand up, and the chorus group sang "Hallelujah" as an encore to wrap up the concert.
