--------

For our 43rd concert, we will present a piece on the theme of "Stars and Forests" in the first part.
In the second part, we will perform the symphony for orchestra with all movements in brass band.
The beautiful, nature-rich land of the Austrian village of Pertschach
The main work will be Brahms' "Symphony No. 2," which was written in about four months as a work surpassing the first, receiving inspiration from the nature of the region, as the composer made it his summer retreat.

We hope you will enjoy the various musical elements in each piece, just as Brahms wrote to his friend, "In the land of Peltchach, there are many melodies flying about, so don't trample them down...".
Please come to Ota Kumin Hall Aprico on the day of the concert to cool off.


Introduction of the band
We are a brass band for working people based in Ikegami, Ota-ku, Tokyo.
We have no parent organization like an "alumni band," but have expanded our circle of friends who enjoy music through musical connections, and will celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2025.
We are celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2025. We have about 50 members of all ages, ranging from 20s to 70s, who practice every week.

The band is also recruiting members.
For more information, please see the "Recruitment" section of the band's official website.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the concert.
