Jun Iida live in Portland

Experience Jun Iida live on August 28th

Jun Iida, a Japanese-born composer and pianist, will be performing at The 1905 in Portland, Oregon on August 28, 2026. Iida’s musical style blends contemporary classical, minimalist, and ambient influences, often incorporating prepared piano techniques – altering the instrument’s sound by placing objects on or between the strings – alongside electronic elements. His compositions frequently explore themes of nature, memory, and the interplay between acoustic and digital soundscapes. He has released several albums to critical acclaim and regularly performs internationally.

The 1905 is a restored historic building located in Portland’s Kerns neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1905 as a church, the building underwent extensive renovations in recent years to transform it into a dedicated performance venue. It is known for its intimate setting and exceptional acoustics, achieved through careful preservation of original architectural features combined with modern sound engineering. The space hosts a diverse range of performances including classical music, jazz, chamber ensembles and experimental sound art. Its capacity is relatively small, fostering a close connection between performers and audience members. The venue aims to support both established and emerging artists.
