Changes of participating schools and performance items

We present the 19th Kyoto International Music Students Festival 2011, an annual musical event held each spring in Kyoto. The Festival invites 111 students of premier music schools from 6 countries (10 students from 5 schools in 5 foreign countries and 101 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 19 times with 2,168 music students participating (414 from overseas, 1,754 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.
