KOBE, Japan, Oct. 15 /KYODO JBN-AsiaNet/ --
-Presenting Award-Winning Jazz Vocalist/Pianist Peter Eldridge as Master-
FUJITSU TEN LIMITED and Columbia College Chicago are co-hosting the "ECLIPSE Master Class" at the
College's Conaway Center on Friday, October 29, 2010. This event will feature a performance by award-
winning jazz vocalist/pianist Peter Eldridge. The admission to this event is free of charge.
<Co-produced between students, universities, "Masters" and FUJITSU TEN>
The "ECLIPSE Master Class" is an innovative style of event produced through cooperation between students,
universities, "Masters" and FUJITSU TEN. We hope that the students will take this opportunity to experience
"sound and music" as well as use their experience in producing this event with FUJITSU TEN as a lesson for
future growth throughout their lives and career. ECLIPSE "TD712z Mk2," our flagship speaker model, will aid
the faithful reproduction of the original sounds of the performance.
Since 2008 we have held the ECLIPSE Master Class series in association with academic institutions such
as Osaka University (which is one of the leading national universities in Japan), with Berklee College of Music
and with Columbia College Chicago, both in the United States.
In addition this event has so far involved different artists as the "Master" such as a virtuoso cellist, a player
of shamisen (Japanese traditional string instrument), world-renowned recording engineers and music
producers. So the students can take the opportunity to experience various aspects of music and event
production.
FUJITSU TEN is proud to assert its corporate philosophy of responsibility and contribution to society. The
ECLIPSE Master Class series exemplifies the company's dedication and involvement towards creating a
better future through sound and music, the international "language" that brings people together from around
the world.
