Mr. Glise is a St. Joseph native and major, internationally renowned guitarist. (See links below).
From an online Mel Bay profile of Mr. Sugita: Ken Sugita began his violin studies at the age of three in his native Japan. He made his first major concert tour as a featured soloist with some of the leading orchestras in the U. S. at the age of nine. At the age of 14, while studying in Scotland, he became the first Japanese-born musician to be awarded the Governor's Prize for Music in Edinburgh.
The duo gave their first at the Lincoln Center (yes, THAT Lincoln Center) in New York in 1982.
Tickets are $15.00 prior to the concert and $18.00 at the door. (Phone 816.235.6222 for tickets)
It will be the best money you can spend, ladies and gentlemen, unequivocally. Don't miss it.

Saw them last night in Saint Joe. Breathtaking, superb performance by world-famous musicians. Don't miss this concert--catch them while you can.
Thanks. I never miss them--or at least Tony--when he's in town.
