Biography

Since his solo debuts at Carnegie Hall (Weill Recital Hall) and the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York in 2009, Jim-Isaac Chua’s performances have been celebrated in the USA, Canada, Poland, France, Italy, Austria, and in South-East Asia.

During the Filipino-American pianist’s 2023-2024 season, he performed across the USA, Poland, France, Austria, and the Philippines in over 40 different halls including Three-Rivers Convention Center, Krzysztofory Palace (Fontana Hall), Pacific Maritime Heritage Center, Polish Cultural Center in Seattle, Józef Świder Concert Hall, Kimbrough Concert Hall, Bing Crosby Theater, Gesellschaft für Musiktheater, Wiener-Krakauer Kultur Gesellschaft, CSI Fine Arts Center, Rodelsa Hall, and Fernan Cebu Press Center where the Cebu Arts Society wrote: “[Chua] gifted us with one of the most beautiful piano performance we have ever seen.” His passion for using concerts to benefit non-profit organizations like Grace Clinic, Habitat for Humanity, and The Arc Foundation has also resulted in him being featured on several TV and radio interviews; he has notably been featured regularly on the cover of numerous newspapers across Oregon (The Nugget, Go! Eastern Oregon, The Times Journal, and Central Oregon Daily.) Over the last two years, his concerts have raised over $200,000 USD for humanitarian organizations.
