The show celebrates the 20th anniversary of Meg Okura and the Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble, a 10-piece ensemble, and marks the release of ISAIAH, PACJE’s fifth album. ISAIAH reflects Okura’s evolution over two decades as a composer, violinist, and bandleader. Written for PACJE, the music draws on jazz, chamber music, Jewish liturgical sources, and Okura’s experience as a Japanese-born, New York–based artist.

Meg Okura is a Tokyo-born, New York–based composer, violinist, and bandleader, and the founder of the Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble. A Juilliard-trained violinist, she is the winner of the International Society of Jazz Arrangers & Composers (ISJAC) Commissioning Award and the Symphonic Jazz Orchestra’s George Duke Commissioning Prize. Her work bridges jazz and chamber music while reflecting a singular cultural and artistic voice shaped by immigration and identity.
