MOCA PERFORMS – Standing Above Pajaro

The Museum of Chinese in America proudly supports the creative journey of generative artists in the development of new works. In this spirit, we are honored to present Standing Above Pajaro, a poignant new opera composed by Jeremy Rafal based on the original play by Conrad A. Panganiban. Returning to MOCA with this evocative piece, Rafal delves into a turbulent chapter of American history, offering a narrative that resonates deeply with contemporary issues of immigration, identity, and the human capacity for empathy.
