Kyoto International Music Students Festival

We are pleased to inform you that the performance was a great success and attracted many people who attended the concert. Thank you very much.

We presented the 14th Kyoto International Music Students Festival 2006, an annual musical event held each spring in Kyoto. The Festival invited 128 students of premier music schools from 10 countries (23 students from 9 schools in 9 foreign countries and 105 students from 12 schools in Japan) to Kyoto to foster international exchange through music and to develop the skills of the young musicians. The Festival has been held 14 times in the past with 1,610 music students participating (318 from overseas, 1,292 from Japan). By performing at the Festival, these students have used music as a meaning to deepen their understanding each other. This year’s Festival featured a finale of works by a Czech composer to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Prague and Japan. Many people enjoyed the new musical perspective and performances of wonderful sensitivity of these young musicians from around the world.
