「パンより音楽「忘れられない体験」
ウィーンでは、著名な音楽家からアマチュアまで、多くの人が教会でコンサートを開きます。演奏の後、聴衆は思い思いの金額のシュペンデ（寄付）をします。ある日、オーケストラとのソロコンサートを終え、着替えて教会から出たら、その母娘が２ユーロ（約２７０円）を手渡してくれました。
『歌声が本当に美しく、素晴らしくて感動しました。いま手元にこれしかありません。パンを買おうと思っていたお金です。シュペンデにさせてください』とお母さんは言いました。
誰でも自由に聴くことのできる教会でのコンサートなのですが、彼女はパンでおなかを満たす以上の大きな喜びを音楽から受け取り、そのことを私に伝えてくれました。
衝撃を受けると同時に、『音楽の力を知りなさい』と教わった気がしました。私の歌手人生にとって、大きな出来事でした」
この経験をきっかけの一つに、「音楽が社会のためにできること」を探してきた田中。
