A frequent soloist with leading orchestras and collaborator with top chamber ensembles, he is praised for his dynamic artistry across repertoire ranging from Gershwin to Schumann. Together, Nakamatsu and the Jupiter String Quartet offer an unforgettable program that celebrates the power of musical sensibility and eep commitment to expressive storytelling through sound.
