Purpose of the Competition

The 35th Japan Wind and Percussion Competition, one of the projects hosted by the Japan Musical Education

and Culture Promotion Society (JMECPS) is aiming to discover talented soloist from an international

perspective, to foster excellent musicians, and to enlighten the wind and percussion fields. This competition is

developing into an international competition that widely attracts wind and percussion lovers from around the

world as well as promotes international musical and cultural exchange.

A Greeting on the Occasion of the 35th Competition

The Wind and Percussion Competition was first held in 1984. Since then, it has gained a highly qualified

reputation for creating rare opportunities with competitions conducted all over the world for wind and

percussion divisions. It has also been known as a gateway to success for young musicians in their career for

over a quarter of a century. Up until the 34th competition in 2017, the total number of participants exceeded

19,700. More than 200 applicants have already become wind and percussion musicians belonging to

professional orchestras in Japan. There are also more people who work as professional ensemble players or

wind-instrument instructors overseas.

We are honored to announce that each first prizewinner from the four divisions will perform a special concert

which will then be followed by an award ceremony in which each winner will receive The Minister of MEXT

Prize and The Governor of Tokyo Metropolitan Prize. We are able to give these awards because of our

extensive experience of achievements.

For the upcoming 35th competition, we are happy for the special cooperation from Musashino Academia

Musicae which will host the competition of the Flute division, Showa University of Music which will host the

competition of the Horn division, Tokyo College of Music which will host the competition of the Trombone

division and Shobi College of Music(academy) which will host the competition of the Euphonium division.

In order to make it a learning place for any wind and percussion instrument participants, the entire program,

including the 1st and the 2nd rounds, the final competition and the Special Concert performed by the First Prize
