Trio KAGUYA was originally founded as the Princess Basset Horn Trio with a dedication to uncovering repertoire written for the basset horn trio and to celebrating the expressive possibilities of this distinctive instrument. The ensemble has appeared at the International Basset Horn Festival (2017, Kandern, Germany) and continues to present its own artistic projects, including independent recitals, while also performing in concerts hosted by the Japan Clarinet Association. The trio has explored works by Mozart, Stadler, Rosetti, Druschetzky, Nudera, and others. Their commitment to “translating” the sound world of the Classical era for contemporary audiences has earned them high acclaim.
In 2025, the group adopted its new name, KAGUYA, and presented a recital in November of the same year.
