The UMBC Department of Music’s PRIME Series presents the Tanosaki-Richards Duo in a program of music for clarinet and piano, including the Brahms Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 120, No. 2; Attracteurs étranges by Jean-Claude Risset; and The Wedge is Struck, the Fog Remains by Hiroyuki Yamamoto.

Active since 1982, the Tanosaki-Richards Duo has performed at Symphony Space (NY), the International Electronic Music Plus Festival (Oberlin, Ohio), the Tokyo American Center, the Kobe International Festivals of Modern Music (Japan), the Music Forum Series at Shobi Conservatory (Tokyo), the Meet the Composer Series at the Center for Computer Music and Music Technology of the Kunitachi College of Music (Tokyo), the Asian Composers Forum (Sendai, Japan), and at more than 20 colleges and universities throughout the US and Japan. They recently performed Masataka Matsuo’s Double Concerto (Hirai V) with the Shinsei Japan Philharmonic under Kazumasa Watanabe, and have recorded the work with the Hamilton College Orchestra (composer conducting) for an Opus One CD. They released a CD of new Japanese music for clarinet and piano through Nine Winds Records.

The Tanosaki-Richards Duo has also performed recitals at the Piacenza Conservatory in Milan, Lincoln Center, the American Academy in Rome, the International Clarinet Association conference in Paris, at FUNMusic in Urbana, Illinois, and have served as visiting artists in residence at the University of Massachusetts, San Jose State University, CNMAT at the University of California, Berkeley, and at the Hartt School of Music.
