Also giving a solo recital at Caramoor this summer is Korean guitarist JIJI, first prize winner at the 2016 Concert Artists Guild International Competition. A passionate advocate for new music, she performs her “Unbound” program, for which she commissioned virtuosic new solo guitar works from eight contemporary composers, including Iceland’s Gulli Björnsson, Latvia’s Krists Auznieks and distinguished Cuban-American Tania León, winner of the New York Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award. JIJI’s Caramoor recital features the U.S. premieres of new works by Natalie Dietterich, Hilary Purrington and Kate Moore.
