“At a Jâca concert you’re not just a bystander, you feel a part of it.”
– Humans of Chamber Music
Since 2018, Jâca has delighted audiences in concert halls at arts series and music festivals worldwide, including in North America, South America, and Europe. The press described the duo as being “at the forefront of an exciting new wave of classical chamber music groups” (Sneak Preview, OR) and praises Jâca for “pushing classical music forward” (Culturs: Global Multicultural Magazine).

The Jâca Cultural Exchange Program (JCEP) is Jâca's successful philanthropic program. For Wesley and Jaxon, it is "Music with Meaning."
With JCEP, the aim is to share culture from one locale to the next and to support underserved musical communities worldwide. Jâca does this by collecting direct contributions, sharing cultural stories and experiences from each stop along their performance tour, and by donating 100% of profits from all JCEP cultural item sales, in addition to 10% of all Jâca merchandise.
Each cycle, Jâca spotlights an underprivileged musical community in need of financial support and works with them to determine the best way to disperse JCEP funds. When you contribute to JCEP, you are learning about the people of another culture while helping an underserved community gain better access to the arts.
