Ponpon Chen Quintet Concert

Highlights

The "Jazz Everywhere" concert promises a brilliant musical feast bridging tradition and modernity. Led by US-based Taipei jazz singer and guitarist Ponpon Chen, the quintet—comprising elite musicians from New York and Los Angeles—will showcase the quintessential charm of jazz through improvisation and dynamic interplay.

Program

Beyond a curation of beloved jazz classics, the concert will feature a special preview of tracks from Ponpon Chen's debut album, recorded in 2026. Heavily influenced by legends such as George Benson and Ella Fitzgerald, Ponpon brings a unique artistic flair, seamlessly blending vocals with guitar improvisation, scat singing, and whistling.

Performers

Ponpon Chen, an active presence in the American jazz scene with performances across New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and a contributor to the ending theme of ABC's "World News Now," will lead a formidable team of musicians to deliver an energetic live performance for Hong Kong audiences.
