Announcement of the Third Nojima Award Ceremony

Tokyo Music University has established the Nojima Award in 2023 to commemorate the legacy of the late Professor Minoru Nojima, a former president of the university. This prestigious award recognizes exemplary achievements in academic research or performance by current students and graduates of the university who are 35 years old or younger, duly contributing to the honor and reputation of Tokyo Music University.
