Applauded by the Calgary Herald as “…talented, sensitive…brilliant,” Jiji is an adventurous artist on
both acoustic and electric guitar, playing an extensive range of music from traditional and contemporary
classical music to free improvisation. Her impeccable musicianship combined with compelling stage
presence and fascinating repertoire earned the Korean guitarist First Prize at the 2016 Concert Artists
Guild International Competition.

Following recent performances at the 92 nd Street ‘Y’ Guitar Fest and at Festival Napa Valley, Jiji has a
busy 2017-18 season, featuring her New York recital debut at Weill Recital Hall on the CAG series, along
with recitals for the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Illinois, Purdue Convocations in Indiana, and the Virginia Arts Festival (co-presented by the Tidewater Classical Guitar Society).

The Kansas City Star described Jiji as “A graceful and nuanced player,” adding that “…she presented an
intimate, captivating performance” in its review of her recent appearance as guest soloist with Kansas City Symphony and conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto. Upcoming concerto appearances include the Great Falls Symphony (MT), Roswell Symphony (NM), and the Southwest Michigan Symphony.

Currently sponsored by D'Addario Strings. Jiji’s performances have been featured on PBS (On Stage at
Curtis series), NPR’s From the Top, WHYY-TV, FOX 4-TV, Munchies (the Vice Channel), The Not So
Late Show (Channel 6, Kansas), and Hong Kong broadcast station RTHK’s The Works.

A passionate advocate of new music, Jiji has premiered a duo piece Talking Guitars by renowned
composer, Paul Lansky, and her subsequent studio recording of that work (with young Chinese guitarist
Hao Yang) will be released on Bridge Records in the 2017-18 season. As a recipient of the 2017 BMI
commissioning award resulting from the CAG Competition. Jiji has commissioned Nina C. Young to
write a new guitar piece scheduled for premiere in early 2018. She has premiered works by numerous
emerging composers, including Gabriella Smith, Riho Maimets, Krists Auznieks, Gulli Björnsson,
Andrew McIntosh, and Farnood HaghaniPour. She also performs her own compositions, incorporating
electronic media and acoustic music, and she currently works as a composer with the Yale Repertory
Theater, Yale Cabaret, and Yale school of Art. Her music is influenced by her regular activities as a DJ,
where she highlights the electronic dance styles of happy hardcore and Berlin experimental electronica.

 
Recent performance highlights include a wide array of venues, including: Carnegie Hall, National
Sawdust, Miller theater, Mass MOCA, Subculture NYC, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Princeton Sound
Kitchen, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her recent tour in Hong Kong consisted of performances
collaborating with a performance Artist, a traditional Chinese instrument ensemble, and an Erhu player in
art galleries, clubs, and even on a moving trolley.

As a chamber musician, she performed with members of Eighth Blackbird, members of one beat project,
members of Bang on a Can All-Stars, Tanglewood Chamber orchestra, Wild Up, The Industry, cellist
Tessa Seymour, and the Aizuri Quartet.

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Jiji (Jiyeon Kim) began playing classical guitar at the age of nine, and was
accepted to the Korea National University of Arts at age fourteen. She attended the Cleveland Institute of
Music for two years, where she studied with Jason Vieaux, and was accepted at the Curtis Institute of
Music in 2011 as one of the first two guitarists in Curtis’ distinguished history. She graduated Curtis in
2015, as a student of Mr. Vieaux and David Starobin, and she recently earned her Master of Music degree
