Official https://switch-www.ins.city.kawagoe.saitama.jp/kurashi/bunka/1003316/1003339/1014871.html

This is a special concert by the Kawagoe Regional Wind Orchestra, a brass band composed of members recruited from the public.
This project was adopted as a Kawagoe City Proposal-type Collaborative Project in 2024.
Taking advantage of the regional nature of the orchestra's name (regional), the orchestra was established in 2024 with the aim of contributing to the improvement of Kawagoe's musical culture and the creation of an attractive town, while deepening learning and exchange with active top professional musicians as lecturers.
(Winds Inc., Dolce Gakki, Nonaka Trading, Buffet Crampon Japan, and Yamaha Corporation are sponsoring the event, and on the day of the concert, there will be a display of instruments from each company and a trial run in the lobby.
Please stop by during the hour before the concert starts and during intermission.
Although we are a newly established orchestra, we look forward to seeing you at the concert.
