Contributing to the perpetual “nature versus nurture” debate is A Family Affair. CCCMF’s Co-Artistic Director Jon Manasse (clarinet) is just one of several professional musicians in his immediate family. Joining him on stage for this special concert are Festival favorite cellist Julian Schwarz, his wife Marika Bournaki (celebrated concert pianist), Jon Manasse’s award-winning sons Alec and Jordan Manasse, his nephew Zachary Silberschlag (principal trumpet of The Israel Philharmonic), and more. The program includes a variety of great essential works by Mendelssohn, Vivaldi, and Mendelssohn, as well as by living composers Svante Henryson and Stanley Friedman. In addition, Jon’s son Jordan Manasse (piano) will be joined by the Festival’s Co-Artistic Director Jon Nakamatsu (piano) for a special performance of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dance in G Minor for Piano Four-Hands.
