MusicFest has had the pleasure and honor of cultivating countless amazing alumni who go on to support inspiring careers both in, and outside of the arts. Alumnus Jim-Isaac Chua is one MusicFest alum who has built an illustrious career as a concert pianist! Chua was a MusicFest participant between the years 2008 – 2011, in which he received the adjudicator choice award during all four years, as well as the highly selective Margie May Ott Scholarship Award. In a recent testimony, Chua remarks, “MusicFest Northwest is a wonderful organization that helped me to meet many people who I would later work with in the music world.” Chua remembers MusicFest as being one of the biggest highlights in his musical life that propelled him into further studies in music at the extremely selective Eastman School of Music.

Jim-Isaac Chua now lives in Poland as an accomplished and successful concert pianist. This fall, he will be performing extensively in the U.S., Poland, and the Phillippine Islands.
