The klpac Wind Ensemble will be making its debut with a tribute to a living legend in the local wind band scene. The 3-day concert entitled Mitsuo Nonami – Friendship in Concert will be performed by the 45-strong ensemble.

Mitsuo Nonami is no stranger to Malaysia and its tight community of musicians. This renowned band clinician is synonymous with the development of the high school band movement. For the past 35 years, he has traveled all over Malaysia to train school bands. The impact of his tireless effort is far-reaching and spans several generations. Ask any school band musician and they will recognise his name instantaneously – some were fortunate enough to be taught by him personally while others learnt from band leaders trained by him.

This upcoming tribute concert will feature some of Mr. Nonami’s compositions including the award-winning Prelude To Return along with For Wonderful Friendship, My Love and Cha Cha Flamenco. It will also feature his arrangements of classics such as Love is a Many-Splendoured Thing and Rasa Sayang.

A spin off from the klpac Orchestra, the ensemble is an extended platform for aspiring as well as professional wind musicians from varying backgrounds to pursue their passion. Many are high-school leavers who no longer have the opportunity to perform because orchestral positions for wind and brass are limited. This platform also allows for greater networking between musicians and hopefully more talented young musicians will be discovered and nurtured.
