One of Bali’s most anticipated musical events of the year, The Padma Musical Series announces that one of the most internationally acclaimed jazz pianists and composers, Joey Alexander, will travel home to Bali with a full band of supporting musicians from the United States. This special performance offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience his music in its most authentic and fully realized form. This landmark Bali appearance not only celebrates Joey Alexander’s extraordinary artistic journey but also the Padma Musical Series’ continuing commitment to presenting world-class musicians to Bali audiences in an intimate and inspiring setting.
JOEY ALEXANDER – INDONESIA
Originally from Bali, Joey Alexander emerged as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary jazz at an astonishingly young age, drawing praise from jazz legend Herbie Hancock as he rapidly established an international presence. His subsequent move to the United States marked the beginning of a remarkable ascent, defined by artistic maturity well beyond his years and a distinctive musical identity.
In the intervening years. Joey has continued to refine his voice through a series of critically acclaimed recordings, including Origin and Continuance , works that underscore his evolution as both a composer and bandleader. Still in his early twenties, he has already received multiple Grammy nominations, performed on the Grammy stage to an international television audience, and been featured on platforms such as NPR’s Tiny Desk and CBS’s 60 Minutes, cementing his place among the leading musical figures of his generation.
This July 2026 performance in Bali will introduce a new dimension to Joey Alexander’s live work, as Joey appears in Indonesia with his own band of US musicians, an elite ensemble drawn from the New York jazz scene with whom he continues to shape his current sound. Their presence brings a deeper sense of cohesion and interplay, offering audiences a rare insight into the musical language Alexander has developed abroad.
Following a history of sold-out appearances at three Padma Musical Series, this return promises not only a homecoming of sorts but also a more expansive and fully realized artistic statement, one that reflects Joey’s journey from prodigious talent to a mature, globally recognized artist.
