Bellefield Hall Auditorium
The Manasse/Nakamatsu Duo is comprised of clarinetist Jon Manasse and pianist Jon Nakamatsu who are two of America’s most distinguished artists. They first shared a concert stage five years ago, becoming the best of friends while rapidly developing a reputation as one of the premier chamber duos touring today. The Duo is dedicated to expanding the concert repertoire for their instruments’ beautifully combinative sounds. Individually, Jon Manasse and Jon Nakamatsu have developed extensive repertoires and lengthy discographies. Their hundreds of performances include concerto engagements, solo recitals and chamber music collaborations with orchestras, universities and music festivals here at home and throughout the world.
