More informations

It is our great pleasure today to introduce a new Japanese work to the saxophonists, who come from all over the world.

We offered a commission to compose a new original song specially for this participation in this congress, to Kenji Ashimoto, a professor of the Kunitachi college of music and also a composer.

The other one song is the NANATU-NO-KO(seven little babies) that was selected from among the many of Japan’s nursery rhyme.
This song was arranged by Yukiko Yoshino who is composer in saxophonist.
