In recordings as a solo artist and compositions for orchestras, chamber ensembles, and operas, Joachim centers an authentic commitment to storytelling, connection, social change, and cultural awareness. Interweaving Haitian folkloric and Western classical music with research and oral histories, she illuminates ancestry, personal lineage, and identity in a body of work she describes as “a tapestry of and testament to the histories, humanity, and potential futures of African diasporic people.”
