Purpose of the Competition
The 33rd 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 33rd 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 32nd competition in 2015, the total number of participants exceeded 18,300. 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 33rd competition, we are happy for the special cooperation from Kunitachi College of Music
which will host the competition of the Clarinet and the Trumpet divisions, Toho College of Music which will host
the competition of the Bassoon division and Showa University of Music which will host the competition of the
Tuba 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
