David Nakazono found his true voice in the trumpet, allowing him to connect with audiences, fellow performers, and himself. He believes that music is a special phenomenon that allows us to create a connection that transcends language, culture, space, and time. Whether with an orchestra, a brass quintet, a jazz band, or solo on stage, David aims to create a resonance between people, the natural world, and life through music. David’s musical journey has taken him around the world and across the paths of countless people. Since 2017, he has called Chicago home and has loved growing and absorbing all that Chicago has to offer musically and beyond. You can catch David performing in various genres and venues across the Midwest including with the South Bend Symphony, Peoria Symphony, Wisconsin Philharmonic, and Lakeshore Brass. As a founding member of Lakeshore Brass, David has gotten to grow and develop alongside the ensemble, and he loves the cohesion and unity of sound, style, and musical vision that embodies the group.

Lakeshore Brass is a brass quintet born from the vibrant music scene of Chicago, where each member has soaked up the city’s rich musical traditions. David Nakazono, Jered Montgomery, Fiona Chisholm, Matt Flanagan, and Keith Polito each received their musical training from members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Throughout their journey, Lakeshore Brass has been dedicated to creating meaningful connections through music. They believe that music serves as a bridge, fostering connections between humans and the natural world, between individuals, and within ourselves. As they continue to explore these connections, Lakeshore Brass remains committed to sharing the transformative power of music wherever they go.
