MGS Presents Manasse Nakamatsu Duo
Comprised of clarinetist Jon Manasse and pianist Jon Nakamatsu, two of America’s most distinguished artists, the Manasse/Nakamatsu Duo immediately established itself with a highly acclaimed 2004 performance in Boston. Subsequent coast-to-coast touring featured appearances on many of the country’s most prestigious series. Since 2006, the Duo has served as Artistic Directors of the renowned Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival, which celebrates 40 years in its August 2019 season.
The Manasse Nakamatsu Duo is committed to expanding the concert repertoire for their instruments’ beautifully combinative sounds. Commissioned projects include works by John Novacek, Paquito D’Rivera, Lowell Liebermann, Gordon Goodwin and Michael Touchi.
Manasse Nakamatsu will be performing works of Brahms, Schubert, Bernstein, Goodwin, and Gershwin. This concert will be 75-90 min in length followed by a reception hosted by the Music Academy of North Carolina.
