Music at the Mansion presents: an afternoon of classical music and opera

The three talented Furuya Sisters – cellist Mimi, pianist Sakiko, and violinist Harumi – were each a child prodigy, with Harumi beginning her studies at age 2, and Mimi and Sakiko making their respective debuts at age 8. Their original compositions have been performed many times at Juilliard.
