Poco Fes! 2026 Family Wind Band Concert

Why You Should Visit

A free wind-band concert held every November by Brass Circle Poco a Poco, a group of parent musicians who rehearse in Toyonaka mornings. The program runs from full-scale wind repertoire to pops that toddlers and grandparents can enjoy, all in the center's main hall. This year marks the band's 20th anniversary, and a student-participation stage brings around 99 players — invited students plus members — together for 'Takarajima'. Admission is free but advance registration is required.
