Studio Ghibli Jazz x Alyssa Chetrick Quartet
The Red Pavilion256 Ingraham Street, New York 11237
Studio Ghibli Jazz x Alyssa Chetrick Quartet brings Chetrick’s quartet to The Red Pavilion for a program built from music of the Studio Ghibli universe. The set centers on Ghibli melodies recast through a contemporary jazz lens, with the event copy describing the material as “vivacious compositions.” It is a focused quartet performance rather than a general Ghibli-themed presentation, pairing familiar screen music with Chetrick’s approach to jazz arrangement.
Chetrick is a New York-based violinist and composer whose work moves between New York and Tokyo and draws on jazz and classical backgrounds. She has also been described as a vocalist, and has led or performed with ensembles at Blue Note Place, Smalls Jazz Club, Lincoln Center, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Jazz Gallery, 54 Below and Nublu. Her live work has included a North American tour with Cirque du Soleil’s Cirque Dreams. Available information does not confirm the personnel of this particular quartet, but it places Chetrick’s Ghibli project within a broader practice spanning violin, voice, composition and ensemble performance.
The Red Pavilion offers a striking blend of Asian neo-noir aesthetics and live jazz performances that create a captivating evening. The venue’s interior channels a 1960s Hong Kong vibe with red lanterns, velvet curtains, and smoky lighting that envelop the room in a cinematic glow. Guests can expect a dynamic program featuring jazz, cabaret, aerial performances, and culturally rich events that honor AAPI heritage. The space functions as a teahouse by day and transforms into a sultry nightclub with a full bar serving inventive Asian herbal cocktails by night. Shows often include multiple sets and sometimes late-night DJ sessions, encouraging both attentive listening and socializing. The Red Pavilion’s intimate stage brings performers close to the audience, making every note and movement feel immediate and immersive.
