Business Overview

We are an organization formed by members who studied in France at the same time, and our ideal is that this activity will become a bridge between Japan's saxophone world and France as well as Europe and the world. Although Vanson-David was unable to visit Japan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the concert expanded the possibilities of saxophone by making full use of the staging and sound that can only be achieved by performing together remotely with Vanson-David. Performers: Haruka Inoue, Nozomi Sakai, Mitsuki Isogai, Asahi Antai, Yuki Tanaka, Asao Nohara, Kyoko Nemoto, Makoto Hondo, Mariko Takeshita Special Guest: Vansone David
