Ryukoku University Symphonic Band

We are the Ryukoku University Symphonic Band, belonging to Ryukoku University in Japan. Our 150 members gather daily, with the themes "music" and "gratitude" as central to our practice.
 
The Ryukoku University Symphonic Band (Brass Band Club) was established in 1968, and under the guidance of world-renowned conductor Sado Yutaka, appeared in our first national competition in 1986. We were joined afterwards by our Music Director and regular Conductor Yoshito Wakabayashi, and have won the Gold Prize in ten of twenty national competitions. We also work actively in recording our work, and until this time have released eighteen CDs.
 
Through our popularity and strong abilities, we continue pursuing our activities with not only a strong reputation as an outstanding brass band club within Japan itself, but also as a representative team of the Kansai region in Western Japan.
