Sunset Sounds Concert Series: Miki Yamanaka Trio

Join us as we kick off another summer of great music in our historic garden! We are thrilled to welcome the Miki Yamanaka Trio.

Japanese-born pianist Miki Yamanaka has called New York City home since 2012 and in the past decade has wasted no time establishing herself as one of the leading personalities of her generation on the piano and beyond. Critics laud her “light, expressive touch and solidly crafted, mainstream approach” - Mike Jurkovic (All About Jazz), while audiences delight in not only her playing, but her vibrant personality as well. Yamanaka has gained international recognition from her albums as a leader; her most recent and most celebrated release, “Shades Of Rainbow” (Cellar Music), features Jazz masters Mark Turner and her NYC rhythm section, Tyrone Allen and Jimmy Macbride.

Bring a lawn chair and a picnic dinner while you enjoy music in the lovely setting of the Butler-McCook House & Garden. Plus, be sure to take in a free tour of the house’s first floor!

The Amos Bull and Butler-McCook Houses will also celebrate featured artist exhibitions of Amanda Roy and Emma Chadwick.
