About This Performance
As solo artists, SF Performances veterans Jason Vieaux and JIJI are about as high voltage as guitar playing can get. Together, as former teacher and pupil, they light up the stage with an electric interplay showcasing a vibrant approach to standard repertory and a knack for what’s hot today and what tomorrow will sound like. Grammy® winner Jason Vieaux has been described by NPR as “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation.” JIJI is “talented, sensitive and brilliant,” according to the Calgary Times.

Performer Biographies
Grammy-winner Jason Vieaux, “among the elite of today’s classical guitarists” (Gramophone), is described by NPR as “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation”. In appearances from New York’s Lincoln Center to Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and the Seoul Arts Center, Jason Vieaux has cemented his reputation as an artist of brilliance and uncompromised mastery. Cited for his “eloquent and vibrant performances” on disc (Gramophone Magazine) he is hailed as “virtuosic, flamboyant, dashing and, sometimes ineffably lyrical” (New York Times) on stage.
Praised by The Washington Post for her “mesmerizing” and “stirring” performances, JIJI is an adventurous guitarist known for her virtuosity and command of diverse repertoire. Equally at home with both acoustic and electric guitar, her concert programs range from traditional and contemporary classical to free improvisation. Through her impeccable musicianship, compelling stage presence, and commitment to commissioning and performing new musical works, JIJI has solidified her reputation as a top 21st century guitarist.
