This event will uniquely blend contemporary jazz with traditional music from Papua
New Guinea, creating a rich cultural experience.

To enhance the program, we aim to invite military band musicians from Tonga to perform alongside us. As Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, eloquently stated, "Jazz carries a universal message with the power to strengthen dialogue, our understanding of each other, and our mutual respect." Inspired by this ethos, we believe this concert will serve as a testament to music's power in fostering peace and unity amidst global challenges.

The annual Jazz Orchestra Concert aligns with our mission to promote global peace
through music while showcasing Papua New Guinea's rich cultural heritage. By adapting traditional European orchestral styles to reflect Papua New Guinean staging practices, we create performances that are both innovative and deeply rooted in our cultural identity.
