Jennifer Frautschi (violin), Jon Manasse (clarinet), and Jon Nakamatsu (piano) continue our 61st season on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, at Libby Gardner Concert Hall on the University of Utah campus.

A trio of individually celebrated soloists, they bring together a remarkable constellation of accolades: Nakamatsu is the Gold Medalist of the 1997 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition; Frautschi is a two-time GRAMMY nominee and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient who performs on a 1722 Stradivarius violin; and Manasse—called "absolutely first-rate" by the New York Times—is Artistic Director of the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival and faculty at both the Juilliard School and Eastman School of Music. Manasse and Nakamatsu are longtime collaborators, making this an evening of deep musical partnership.
