JIJI brings equal brightness to acoustic and electric guitars and a wide diversity of music-old and new, traditional and classical, free improv and the undefinable. JIJI is the first solo guitarist to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild Award in 30 years, making her a must-hear, once-in-a generation artist.
JIJI is an adventurous artist, hailed for her impeccable musicianship, compelling stage presence, and fascinating repertoire. The Kansas City Star described JIJI as "a graceful and nuanced player," adding that "...she presented an intimate, captivating performance."
A passionate advocate of new music, JIJI has premiered a duo piece, Talking Guitars, by renowned composer Paul Lansky. She has premiered works by numerous emerging composers, including Nina C. Young, Gabriella Smith, Riho Maimets, Krists Auznieks, Gulli Bjornsson, Andrew McIntosh, and Farnood HaghaniPour. She also performs her own compositions, incorporating electronic media and acoustic music. Her music is influenced by her regular activities as a DJ, where she highlights the electronic dance styles of happy hardcore and Berlin experimental electronica.
The program will include works by Albeniz, Paganini, Leon, and others, along with the World Premiere of a new work by Michael Gilbertson.
