Welcome to Kazusa Junior Orchestra

The Kazusa Junior Orchestra was founded in 1998 and is now in its 26th year. Through our experiences during this time, the significance of the youth orchestra has become apparent as the philosophy of the KJO. I see many of them making various friends beyond their school and grade level and talking to each other like brothers and sisters. Of course, practice is essential for performance improvement. The joy of practicing and feeling the fruits of one's labor is a key to success in life. Orchestra is a place where cooperation and individuality collide. It is also an opportunity to know yourself. To know an artist, his or her social background, and the process of creation early in life is an irreplaceable lifetime experience. Through music, conversations at home will increase. KJO is such a place. Please come to KJO.
