Guitar Celebrations: Jiji Plays Rodrigo’s Guitar Concerto

About the Event

Creative Partner David Robertson concludes his first season with us! No guitar celebration would be complete without Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, the most famous guitar concerto there is (you’ll recognize it immediately!) and it’s performed by the spectacular South Korean guitarist and DJ, Jiji. Altogether, seven sensational electric and acoustic guitarists take their moment in the spotlight with the symphony for arrangements of music by The Beatles and works with influences from the Renaissance to rock. Everyone on stage synthesizes their talent in a fantastic Frank Zappa finale!

This performance is part of our Guitar Celebrations festival, bringing the eight extraordinary acoustic and electric guitarists of the collective Another Night on Earth to our community. The ensemble members including conductor and USUO Creative Partner David Robertson-will engage with audiences and students across Salt Lake City in a week of genre-bending performances and education programs.
