Lesley Mok is a New York City-based percussionist and interdisciplinary artist who works in sound, installation, film and theater. Mok’s work delves into how social conditions influence our identities. Mok also draws from queer and feminist art practices, Chinese philosophy, Afro-Cuban musical traditions, futurist perspectives and ancestral knowledge.

Mok’s ongoing explorations with composition and improvisation are most notably documented in their debut album The Living Collection (American Dreams Records) that features a 10-piece improvising chamber ensemble. The album, described as “an exquisite and stimulating work” by All About Jazz and “a singularly personal statement” by Jazz Trail Magazine, was named International Debut Album of the Year at the 2024 Deutscher Jazz Preis.

A recipient of the 2022 Resident Artist award at Roulette Intermedium, Mok also received the 2021 Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award. As a percussionist, Mok has performed alongside Tomeka Reid, William Parker, Ingrid Laubrock, Mary Malvorson, Kenny Barron, John Patitucci, Cory Smythe, Jen Shyu, Kalia Vandever, Fay Victor and Adam O’Farrill.

All concerts are free and open to the public. Live performances will take place at Wolfson Campus Auditorium, 300 N.E. Second Ave., Miami, FL 33132. Building 1, Room 1261. Performances will be livestreamed, except for the student ensembles.
