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 present the 18th Kyoto International Music Students Festival 2010, an annual musical event held each spring in Kyoto. The Festival invites 107 students of premier music schools from 10 countries (21 students from 9 schools in 9 foreign countries and 86 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 comes to 18 times with 2,057 music students participating (404 from overseas, 1,653 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 features a finale of works by a Austria composer under the title, 'Fescination of Wiener Waltz and Operetta'. Many people enjoy the new musical perspective and performances of wonderful sensitivity of these young musicians from around the world.
