Masaaki has enjoyed 9 years of fruitful partnership and professional growth with Hazard Chase with James Brown and Roderick Thompson. Masaaki writes, “I am so grateful for Roderick Thomson and Hazard Chase Team for our long-term collaboration, although the terrible pandemic forced us all to change the life. In any situation, we never stop bringing wonderful music to the audience, and devoting ourselves to it. So I am immensely excited now to start working with Jasper Parrot and his team.”

Jasper Parrott comments “It is an honour and privilege to start on this new adventure with Masaaki and Masato Suzuki and the outstanding Bach Collegium Japan, a great musical treasure which I have admired so very much over many years and almost countless trips to Japan. We are glad to be able to give continuity to the devoted and successful work of Roderick Thompson and James Brown and we look forward to our future together with faith, hope and much excitement.”
