                             JIJI ~ Guitarist
JIJI is an adventurous artist on both acoustic and electric guitar playing a wide range of music from traditional to contemporary classical to free improvisation. Her impeccable musicianship combined with compelling stage prescence and fascinating repertoire earned the Korean artist First Prize at the 2016 Concert Artists Guild International Competition.
The Kansas City Star described JIJI as “A graceful and nuanced player,” adding that “…she presented an intimate, captivating performance” in reviewing her recent concerto debut appearance with Kansas City Symphony. A major highlight of JIJI’s 2018-19 season is her Carnegie Hall/Stern Auditorium debut as soloist with the award-winning New York Youth Symphony, performing the world premiere of a new concerto written for her by American composer Natalie Dietterich.
