Profile

Travel Brass Quintet+ (brass ensemble)

Formed in 2004 by classmates of Tokyo University of the Arts. In 2007, he was also selected for the Geidai Thursday Concert and chamber music regular concert. In addition to conducting concert tours throughout the school year, he has been active in a variety of situations, including performing on TV programs, appearing in magazines, and appearing as a guest at events. In addition, ``Picture Book de Classic'', a classical performance for parents and children launched in 2013 that is open to children from the age of 0, has become a hot topic for its unprecedentedly elaborate content, and has become so popular that tickets across the country have sold out in just a few years. It has grown into a performance. Since “Travel” has the meaning of “sound being transmitted,” the name was chosen with the hope that our music would also be transmitted. From 2020, we will reorganize as a new group that is not bound by existing forms. In 2024, the group will celebrate its 20th anniversary, and further success is expected.
