Saito Kinen Orchestra Brass Ensemble

Come hear a performance by a superb brass ensemble that emerged from the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival, whose general director is the maestro Seiji Ozawa (b. 1935). The members of the ensemble include world-class wind and percussion instrumentalists, all in whom Ozawa has invested his complete trust. The wonderful memories of the group's debut performance at Art Tower Mito--which took place in January 2017, captivating the sold-out audience with their brilliant brass sound--are still fresh in listeners' minds.
