Stormy Weather and Thunderous Applause in Jeju

Competitions

 

The Jeju international Brass Competition in South Korea celebrates its 2023 Edition with a huge festival

 

 

Despite an approaching Typhoon, the Jeju international Brass Competition took place alongside its annual Wind Ensemble Festival, turning the island in a large festival altogether. If there were worrying news reports about rising political tensions in East Asia, they were not noticed on this famous Korean island, and Koreans, Chinese and Japanese along with many other artists from overseas actively performed together and shared new friendships.

Held since 2000, the Brass Competition features bass trombone, tuba, euphonium and percussion in even years; odd years competitions present trumpet, horn, tenor trombone and brass Quintet.

With four categories each year, the competition is truly unique and and has become a singularly famous place for brass players from around the world.
