20th Anniversary of the Lotus String Quartet
Japan & Asia Tour (late November to early December 2012)
Guest : Sebastian Manz (awarded 1st prize at the 2008 ARD
International Music Competition in Munich)
The Lotus String Quartet, the only string quartet originating in Japan and based in Europe to have continued with ongoing concert activities since the Tokyo Quartet.
It all started when, twenty years ago, four young women decided to leave their careers to engage in quartet musical studies in Germany... since then, they have even further deepened their musical understanding as the Lotus String Quartet.
The Lotus String Quartet have invited Sebastian Manz who is the first clarinettist in 40 years to have been awarded 1st prize at the rigorous ARD International Music Competition in Munich for their 20th Anniversary Japan Tour, which will surely create new achievements in the Western music history of Japan.
Moreover, other projects currently underway for Mr Manz are to perform a concerto with orchestra, as well as a recital with pianist Iku Miwa (to be confirmed).

We at Kojima Concert Management Co., Ltd. wish to extend a warm welcome to Sebastian Manz as our exclusive artist. In 2008 at the age of 22, Manz was the first clarinettist in 40 years to win the first prize at the ARD International Music Competition in Munich, known for occasionally not awarding 1st prizes.
Manz, under the tutelage of internationally renowned clarinettist Sabine Meyer, has been appointed principal clarinettist of Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR, Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra from the 2010/11 season. We will be very much looking forward to his future activities with the orchestra.
