Since 2013 Michael Zhuang, a resident of Bethesda and nicknamed &ldquo;The Investment Scientist&rdquo; for his founding of MZ Capital Management, has traveled the world and spent countless hours researching, studying and practicing his love of musical improv. In 2017, he began sponsoring up-and-coming talent from New York City and Chicago to perform locally, as a way of embedding musical improv into the fabric of Bethesda&rsquo;s growing arts and entertainment culture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;My vision is to see Bethesda&rsquo;s performance art scene flourish&rdquo; &ndash; Michael Zhuang<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through his wealth management firm, he&rsquo;s created opportunities for emerging artists to showcase their talent to a broader audience and take a slice of Bethesda back with them to their cities. To jumpstart 2018, he&rsquo;s invited Veteran Chicago improvisers Tara DeFrancisco and Rance Rizzutto to the area to perform their critically acclaimed improvised musical, HERE, recently called &ldquo;nothing short of genius&rdquo; by NPR. In HERE, Tara and Rance get one suggestion to create a theme through an opening number, they then design characters and storylines inspired by that theme, and effortlessly weave the strings together to discover one piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The performance will be Friday, January 19, 2018 at 8:00pm at Imagination Stage &#8211; 4908 Auburn Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For tickets, click here: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/taraandrance.eventbrite.com\/\">http:\/\/TaraAndRance.eventbrite.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>For additional information, contact<\/strong>: Michael Zhuang at 301-462-4220 or <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:mzhuang@mzcap.com\">mzhuang@mzcap.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About MZ Capital Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MZ Capital Management is an independent fee-only wealth management practice helping clients build wealth so they can live a good life doing what they do best and enjoy most.
