Oshawa, Ontario, Canada (November 2nd, 2011) - Northern Anime Festival has announced today its new brand for their future events. These new events will be titled Ochiba~Con and will provide the community for Durham Region with a sample of Japanese arts and culture and will attract fans from all over with their colourful costumes into the Durham Region in the early fall of 2012.
The Festival has opened the doors to talented young musicians who are still unknown to the public, something nobody has done before. Among these are the 18-year-old Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki, now known worldwide; Jonathan Crow, now concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra; and the Afiara String Quartet, Laureat of the prestigious Banff International String Quartet competition.
