Profile
[Ueno Bass Clef]
Amid the chaos of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, he formed a group with the strong desire to do something with the power of euphonium and Tuba music. All of them are graduates of the Tokyo University of the Arts, have been active as soloists, orchestra players and teachers, and are composed of talented members who have won competitions in Japan and abroad. Friends who have doubts about the range of ensemble repertoire and the direction of mid- and low-pitched instruments gather to raise the value of euphonium and tuba and promote their development through concerts and lectures. In February 2021, he premiered In Vivo 2, a work commissioned by Tetsuro Kubo.
