Profile

Committee for Residency Program Tambuco-Japan
The committee was established in 2012 to contribute to arts and cultural exchange between Japan and Mexico, and the development of arts and culture. The aim of this tie-up with Mexico-based Tambuco Percussion Ensemble is to plan and deliver creative international collaboration programs supporting the activities of Japanese composers and performers in residence programs overseas, as well as to discover and nurture young Japanese composers and support the development of their professional activities on a global basis.
