Habitat for Humanity presents Jim-Isaac Chua in concert

By Reader Staff

International award-winning pianist Jim-Isaac Chua will perform a special evening of live music benefiting Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25 at the Panida Theater (300 N. First Ave., in downtown Sandpoint).

Since his solo debut at Carnegie Hall in 2009, the Filipino-American pianist has performed in concert halls, palaces and cultural institutions across more than a dozen countries.

Chua will showcase the influences composers carried across time, tracing how musical ideas passed from one generation to the next.

The program will feature masterpieces by Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Debussy and more, including the virtuosic “Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2” and beloved favorites like “Clair de Lune,” paired with Chua’s own personal introductions to each piece.

All proceeds from the evening will directly benefit Panhandle Habitat for Humanity’s work in the community.

Since 1991, the organization has operated under the mission that everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to call home. Serving families throughout Bonner County, Habitat builds and repairs homes in partnership with local families who put hundreds of hours of “sweat equity” alongside community volunteers, working on their own home and others nearby.

Ticket prices start at $12.50 and are available at panida.org.
