With a focus on community and music, I work to revitalize my hometown of Saga Prefecture. While performing as a double bassist with wind ensembles and orchestras across Kyushu, I participated on double bass in the “Orchestra Without Borders” orchestra camp of the professional game and anime music ensemble Eminence Orchestra, held in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture in September 2012. During CAPCOM’s Kyushu Tour in 2016, I not only performed as an orchestra member but also served on the production staff. I currently serve as the managing representative for the game and anime performance groups Elysion Philharmonic Orchestra (Saga Prefecture) and Fukuoka Game Music Wind Orchestra (Fukuoka Prefecture), and handle conducting, arranging, and public relations.

Sir William Walton, a composer of modern British music in the 20th century.

Not limited to pure classical music, his works—often arranged as concert suites of film scores or performed by wind bands—are frequently played, earning him tremendous support from a wide audience beyond just classical music fans.

Drawing on a variety of contemporary musical styles, his pieces are crisp, stylish, and richly expressive, yet approachable.

Here is a list of Walton’s works.

I’d be delighted if you discover just how many masterpieces there are beyond the well-known ones.

Now, please enjoy the world of William Walton!
