New England Conservatory Preparatory School and Musicale present a special solo piano recital by 11-year old piano phenomenon Masanobu (Masa) Pires from Sharon, MA, to benefit The Jimmy Fund for cancer research.

The recital takes place on June 12, 2022 at NEC’s Williams Hall, and tickets are free with suggested donation levels of $25 for adults and $10 for children, with all proceeds going to The Jimmy Fund.
Masa Pires is not only an excellent pianist, but is also deeply committed to using his musical gift to give back to his community and benefit the greater good. After his cousin Austin passed away from alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cancer in 2021, Masa knew that he wanted to use his own talent as a pianist to organize fundraiser events for cancer research.
A rising star at the NEC Preparatory School, Masa most recently won First Place in the NEC Prep Concerto Competition on May 21, 2022. He is one of four winners of the Musicale “Outstanding Young Artist Award,” selected from close to 1,000 young pianists worldwide who competed in the Musicale Festivals throughout the pandemic. He has won three Gold Prizes at the Musicale Music Festivals and numerous top prizes at competitions in the U.S. and internationally. In the 2023 season, he will be performing Mozart Piano Concerto, K. 467 with one of the NEC Preparatory School Youth Orchestras.
