Encore 2024

A celebration of Cupertino TV Productions!

Celebrating Our Work Through Encore

Encore 2024, this year’s Cupertino TV Productions’ encore presentations of our shows is now in our rear view mirror. Encore 2024 was celebrated on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at the Cupertino Senior Center. You are in for a treat! It was wonderful hosting world-renowned Ikebana Master, Ms. Fusako Hoyrup, at our first post-Covid Encore festival. Besides a presentation of our much-viewed and liked ‘The Making of an Ikebana Master’, Ms. Fusako did a live demonstration of Ikebana arrangements at the Cupertino Senior Center. Beautiful-costumed attendees brought their love for Ikebana and Ms. Fusako and enjoyed the special screening of the show and the live demonstration. Ms. Fusako dazzled the attendees with great Ikebana arrangements in a live demonstration. The speeches, the explanations behind the Ikebana arrangements, the use of exotic and edible beauty, Jade Peppers, Persimmons, Okra… We loved it it all!
