ASBOF hosts our first band from Taiwan

On Sunday 22nd June the Yuwun Elementary School Wind Band will perform in the David Stanhope event at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music

Yuwun Elementary School Wind Band was established in 2011 with the dedicated support of conductor Mr. Chia-Ming Hsu, executive director Ms. Ling-Ya Yeh, and the parent association of Yuwun Elementary School in Tainan City, Taiwan.

Yuwun Wind Band consists of students from third grade to sixth grade, and is divided into two groups: Beginner Level (Group B) and Intermediate Level (Group A). The band actively participates in various performances and activities both on and off campus and holds regular concerts. Over the years, Yuwun Wind Band has consistently earned top honors in the Tainan City Student Music Competitions. Since 2017, the band is constantly selected to represent Tainan City in the Taiwan National Student Music Competition, where it is awarded Excellent Performance in Wind Ensemble Competition. In 2025, through the efforts of teachers and students, Yuwun Wind Band achieved the highest honor—Superior with Distinction—at the national level competition.

YuWun Wind Band has established a solid and fruitful reputation with the diligent efforts of teachers and students. To further broaden students’ international horizons, the band organized music exchange programs with several renowned wind bands in Osaka, Japan in 2017 and 2023, and will continue organizing music exchange activities internationally to deepen students’ global perspectives.

Children of Yuwun Wind Band greatly enjoy their rehearsal time, delight in playing musical instruments, and bring joyful music to all. Within the big family of YuWun Wind Band, they grow together and create cherished memories.

Yuwun Elementary School Wind Band are very much looking forward to performing at the Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival in 2025.
