Manasse/Nakamatsu Duo

Comprising clarinetist Jon Manasse (Pre-College ‘82; BM, ‘86; MM, ‘87, clarinet) and pianist Jon Nakamatsu, the Manasse/Nakamatsu Duo immediately established itself with a highly acclaimed 2004 performance in Boston. Subsequent coast-to-coast touring featured appearances as part of many of the country’s most prestigious series. Recent appearances abroad included the duo’s first performances in Cuba in 2017. Since 2006, the two have served as artistic directors of the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival, which celebrates 40 years during its upcoming summer season.

The Manasse/Nakamatsu Duo is committed to expanding the concert repertoire for their instruments’ beautifully combinative sounds. Commissioned works have included John Novacek’s Four Rags for Two Jons and Paquito D’Rivera’s The Cape Cod Files. Subsequently expanded and orchestrated by the composer, The Cape Cod Concerto received its world premiere in 2011. Composers Lowell Liebermann, Gordon Goodwin, and Michael Touchi have also written works premiered and toured by the duo.

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 at home and around the world. Additionally, Manasse was principal clarinetist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and is principal clarinet of the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, American Ballet Theater, and New York City’s All-Star Orchestra. Nakamatsu is the gold medalist of the 10th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

The duo’s debut CD of Brahms’ clarinet sonatas was chosen by the New York Times as one of its Best of 2008. An all-American album, comprising works of Bernstein, D’Rivera, Gershwin, and Novacek, was released in 2010. More recent recordings include works of Beethoven, Weber, and both the piano and clarinet quintets of Brahms on the final recording of the Tokyo String Quartet.

Manasse and Nakamatsu are frequent guest speakers throughout the country and also serve as adjudicators at many prestigious music competitions. Manasse graduated from Juilliard and is on the faculties of Juilliard, Lynn University, and Mannes School of Music. Nakamatsu holds degrees in German studies and education from Stanford University and is a faculty member at the San Francisco Conservatory.
