MOCA PERFORMS – Fly Mi Away

In this performance, composer and performer Miguel Sutedjo reflects on his journey as a Chinese Indonesian in America through jazz piano, musical theater, and song writing. He shares selections from his original musical Fly Me Away—which follows Frank, a teenage pianist chasing his jazz dreams in conflict with his immigrant father’s traditional expectations—alongside other original compositions. The program—arranged for piano, bass, drums, and three vocalists—offers a vibrant blend of personal storytelling and musical exploration.
