Resident Artistic Director Julian Lage begins his week with a solo recital, showcasing the breadth of his guitar mastery in the most revealing setting -- one in which his peerless musicianship is presented without restrictions, undiluted and unadorned.
The evening harkens back to Lage's landmark 2015 Modern Lore release World's Fair, a solo guitar session of original compositions focused on the exploration of the song styles that shaped his own aesthetic, inspired by the work of a formative influence, classical guitar genius Andrés Segovia.
Transcending his prodigious beginnings -- which include being the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary film Jules at Eight, a GRAMMY Awards performance at 13, and faculty status at the Stanford Jazz Workshop at 15 - Santa Rosa-born guitarist Julian Lage has emerged as a stunningly accomplished creative force in modern music. He demonstrated deep maturity and intellectual acuity from the start, joining vibraphone innovator Gary Burton's star-making quartet in 2004 at age 16. Lage's trajectory has been linear since then, embracing jazz, pop, country, bluegrass, and acoustic folk with equal élan. At just 35, he's recorded 15 albums as a leader and lent his singular virtuosity to work with Charles Lloyd, Eric Harland, John Zorn, Terri Lyne Carrington, Fred Hersch, and Nels Cline.
