Salon Series, the Parrish Art Museum’s concert program featuring world-class artists performing in an intimate, casual setting, presents clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov and pianist Misuzu Tanaka.
Comprised of two sensationally gifted and acclaimed virtuosi – Maksim Shtrykov and Misuzu Tanaka – have been hailed as “a new generation of exquisitely talented performers who elevate our understanding of the world’s music.” (Shelter Island Reporter), and can be heard throughout the U.S., garnering an impressive record of instant re-engagements.
Clarinet and piano duos are still rare gems on the modern concert stage despite the immense repertoire. With its innovative programming, master classes, and recitals, the Duo makes it their mission to transform the superb instrumental combination from a rare occurrence to a welcomed guest on concert series across the globe.
The Duo’s debut album “Epilogues” will focus on the last works of three leading composers – Johannes Brahms, Camille Saint-Saëns and Francis Poulenc. Each of these composers chose the clarinet as the last medium of their genius, referring to its rich sound and soulful expression in the late stage of their lives and entrusting in it a lifetime of wisdom and experience. Though the story behind the creation of each composition differs, all of them hold a deep philosophical meaning as the pinnacles of the composers’ mastery.
Maksim and Misuzu first met in December 2012 and, as avid chamber music collaborators, instantly felt a unique artistic connection resulting in an inspiring and creative friendship. Both artists are graduates of The Juilliard School and enjoy extensive international solo careers that have taken them to Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Germany’s Leipzig Gewandhaus and Japan’s Izumi Hall.
