- Pusan National University Wind Orchestra
Founded with the educational philosophy of cultivating professional wind musicians, the Pusan National University Wind Orchestra has pursued the highest standards through its annual regular concerts, setting a model direction for university wind orchestras in Korea. Each year, its graduates go on to perform with symphony and wind orchestras both domestically and internationally, and many also contribute to the Korean music scene as educators and professionals in the arts.

- Ulsan University Wind Orchestra
Since its founding in 1998, the Ulsan University Wind Orchestra has made remarkable progress year after year. Beginning with its first regular concert in 2002, the orchestra has expanded its reach through international invitations, regional tours, special concerts, and annual performances. With strong support from both the university and the local community, it has developed into one of Korea’s leading university wind ensembles despite its relatively short history. Starting with regional tours in Busan, Pohang, Daejeon, and Cheongju in 2004, and later in Seoul, Daejeon, and Chuncheon in 2009, the orchestra gained national attention. It received acclaim for its high-level performances at the Korea National University Wind Festival, Chungnam Wind Festival (2005), Chungbuk Wind Festival (2006), and both the Korea National University Wind Festival and the Korea Wind Festival in 2007. The ensemble has also fostered international friendships through joint performances with Elisabeth University of Music in Hiroshima, Japan in 2006, 2010, and 2017. Its overseas engagements include invitations to the Taiwan International Band Festival (2007), a goodwill concert in support of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the Macau Band Festival (2011), all of which received high praise from local media for their musical excellence. Since 2007, it has participated in the Jeju International Wind Ensemble Festival, deepening musical exchange and friendship with wind ensembles around the world. The orchestra continues to host annual concerts featuring renowned foreign conductors and soloists, further enhancing its performance quality. Driven by passion and creativity, the Ulsan University Wind Orchestra is striving to grow into a globally recognized ensemble.
