Join us as we celebrate the release of Ben Kono’s third recording as a leader ‘Voyages’, a project made possible in part by Chamber Music America New Jazz Works and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. ‘Voyages’ is inspired by the memoirs of Juhei Caleb Kono and stands as a tribute to Japanese-American immigrants who paved the way for later generations, celebrating their enduring spirit and resilience. Kono's core jazz quintet will be joined by a stellar string quartet accomplished in both classical and jazz genres. Come experience a transformative musical experience that transcends the boundaries of jazz, classical and folk idioms; an immigration story told through the power of music.

"Mr. Kono, a versatile woodwinds specialist… has a gleaming new album…that establishes his style as a bandleader-composer: cosmopolitan and unflappable, with a feel for rallying his sidemen.”—Nate Chinen, The New York Times
