Jeju International Wind Ensemble Festival | Jeju City
Celebration
The Jeju International Wind Ensemble Festival (JIWEF) is one of Jeju Island's most representative art festivals, blending the island's tranquil scenery, the romantic atmosphere of summer, and the ease of outdoor performance for wind instruments. It is the only competition in the world to include all brass instrument categories, including French horn, trumpet, tenor trombone, bass trombone, euphonium, tuba, brass quintet, and percussion. The Jeju International Brass Ensemble Competition joined the World Federation of International Music Competitions (JIWEF) in April 2009. Jeju co-hosted the 13th Asia-Pacific Wind Conductors Association Wind Band Festival in 2003 and the World Marching Wind Band Championships in 2006. In 2014, Jeju hosted the 18th Asia-Pacific Wind Conductors Association Wind Band Festival. The Jeju International Wind Band Festival and the Jeju International Brass Band Competition aim to promote the popularity and professionalism of wind instruments by jointly hosting these two events.
