Sapporo intends to promote art culture and progress in art, literature, music, drama, and dance.

～Why Sakkyo Chorus has been selected～
Sapporo Symphony Orchestra is happy and honored to announce that our Sakkyo Chorus has been awarded “Sapporo Culture Prize for Encouragement.”
Since 2006, Sakkyo Chorus as a sole choir organization working together with the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra has been appearing on the stage. At the subscription concerts and other occasions, the chorus has developed very much in its standards, and with the chorus, the repertoire of the orchestra has widened. Citizens of Sapporo now enjoy number of music thus contributing the promotion of culture in the city of Sapporo. (from the website of City of Sapporo)
