To kick off Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, SJMA welcomes back solo guitarist and music instructor Thien An Nguyen for another unique and compelling performance. Hailing from Vietnam, he has spent the last decade exploring the cross-cultural, expressive possibilities of percussive fingerstyle guitar, a technique that produces an intriguing visual performance as well as a rich, multidimensional sound. This singular performance will blend bilingual vocals, original compositions, and traditional Vietnamese tunes with pop, R&B, and rock classics.

First Fridays
Everyone at these free monthly program enjoy an inviting atmosphere with open galleries and live entertainment. Be sure to check out Kambui Olujimi and Beta Space before the exhibitions end on Sunday, June 1.
