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.
A Benefit Concert For Crossroads Education Program
Crossroads Arts Education
ArtSpeak was founded in 1987 by Debbie Friedman, and its original purpose was to help underserved and disadvantaged populations within the community. Since then, it has benefitted hundreds and positively impacted thousands. Crossroads Carnegie Art Center has been a stable base of support for ArtSpeak for many years by providing space for classes, assistance in grant writing and donated administrative services.
While the program continues to focus on making the arts accessible to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity, ArtSpeak has evolved into Crossroads’ comprehensive Education Program. This means there is no longer a distinction between “ArtSpeak” classes and “Program” classes; instead, we embrace a unified vision. At the heart of Crossroads lies ArtSpeak, and a passionate belief in the transformative power of the arts, ensuring that they are available to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.
