 Sierra Madre Playhouse Lunar New Year Series Features
MUSIC: Jett Kwong
Experimental Pop Artist Blends Chinese Guzheng, Layered Vocal Melodies, Electronics, and Orchestral Textures
Sierra Madre Playhouse’s multi-week Lunar New Year series features Jett Kwong, an experimental pop artist who combines her virtuosic skills on the Chinese guzheng with striking vocal melodies and electronics, on Friday, February 20, 2026, 8 pm. Transporting listeners into dreamy soundscapes deemed a "balm to the spirit" (NPR), Kwong’s music explores identity, heritage, migration, and belonging—reflecting her family’s roots in Hong Kong and the complexities of mixed identity in America. Toggling between tradition and innovation, Kwong journeys through ambient musical textures, alternative pop, and chamber-inspired arrangements. The recipient of the 2019 Kollaboration Award, bestowed on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in entertainment and media, Kwong “creates music that touches on themes that are both deeply personal and intrinsically universal” (303 Magazine). Her distinctive music has also been featured on various film and television projects.
