About Murakami Mixtape
Murakami Mixtape comes to Town Hall as a jazz program shaped by the literary world of Haruki Murakami, presented in partnership by Japan Society and The Town Hall. Pianist Jason Moran is among the featured performers, placing improvisation alongside Murakami’s recurring concerns with memory, solitude, and the everyday turning strange. In a city where Japan Society has long framed Japanese culture for New York audiences, the event reads as a small study in cross-translation between pages and sound. It is scheduled for December 12, 2025, and is currently sold out.
