The Juilliard School

We are delighted to welcome guitarist JIJI, known for her virtuosity and command of diverse repertoire, to Tippet Rise for the first time. Performing outdoors on the land at the Domo by Ensamble Studio, JIJI’s program Counterpoint Dream, takes us on a musical journey in and out of several centuries including Baroque-period works by the 16th century nun Claudia Sessa, Marin Marais and J.S. Bach, Romantic virtuosos Niccolò Paganini and Isaac Albéniz, Haitian guitarist and composer Frantz Casseus, and American minimalist Steve Reich. The program also includes with works by Antón García-Abril – a special tribute to the great Catalan composer and father of Ensamble Studio’s principal architect of the same name, whose other-worldly structures, including the Domo, are integral to the Tippet Rise experience.

Tippet Rise Art Center

She brings equal brightness to acoustic and electric guitars and a seeping diversity of music—old and new, traditional and classical, free improv and the undefinable. “One of the 21 composers/performers who sound like tomorrow” (Washington Post), JIJI is the first guitarist to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild Award in 30 years, making her a must-hear, once-in-a-generation artist.
