Jérémy Jouve, Classical Guitar
J
“Without a doubt one of the bright lights of the young generation of classical guitarists.”
(Univers Guitare, January 2005)
érémy Jouve, 2003 winner of the First Prize
of the prestigious International Guitar
Competition organized by the Guitar
Foundation of America, Grammy nominated
artist in 2014, enjoys an international concert
career, playing in some of the world’s most
important festivals in addition to being a
Naxos Records recording artist.
Born in 1979, Jouve began studying the
guitar in Chambéry, France, and obtained at
the early age of 13 the “Premier Prix” of the
Grenoble Conservatoire National de Région.
This prize enabled him to be admitted to the
studio of Eric Franceries, who was to become
extremely important to Jouve’s early musical development. Moving to Paris at 18, he
studied with Maestro Alberto Ponce at the
Ecole Normale de Musique/Alfred Cortot
and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur
de Musique et de Danse (CNSMDP), where

Sundin Music Hall Concert
Jérémy Jouve, continued from p. 1
he was also a student
of Roland Dyens. After
graduating with degrees
in guitar and chamber
music, Jérémy decided
to broaden his musical horizons. He elected
to join an advanced
training course under
the guidance of Laszlo
Hadady, oboe soloist of
the Paris-based Ensemble
Intercontemporain.
Already an award winner at several international competitions, in 2002 Jouve won First Prize at the Tychy International
Guitar Competition (Poland) followed by First Prize at the prestigious International Guitar competition organized in Mexico
during November 2003 by the Guitar Foundation of America.
Following this success, he embarked upon a 40-recital tour of the
United States, Canada and Mexico during the 2004-2005 season.
Jérémy Jouve’s career has brought him to some of the most
important stages and festivals of the musical world, including Moscow’s Tchaikowsky Hall, Germany’s Iserlhon Guitar
Symposium, the French National Radio festival, the Sanok
International Guitar Festival in Poland, the Alliances Francaises
of India, and elsewhere in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary,
Greece, Italy, Switzerland and Macedonia, among other countries.
Jérémy Jouve has always been active in a diverse array of musical projects. Among his many abiding interests are jazz, Indian
classical music and contemporary music, which has found him
concertizing on the electric guitar in various ensembles. A seasoned chamber musician, he regulary performs in several chamber music groups, in association with Sébastien Droy (tenor,
nominated for French National Classical Music Award 2007) and
Judicael Perroy (winner of the GFA competition in 1997), with
whom Jouve has formed a duo currently enjoying widespread
attention.
Jérémy Jouve released his first solo compact disc on the
Naxos label in 2004. He completed a multi-disc set of the complete guitar of Joachín Rodrigo on the Naxos label in 2008. He
received a Grammy Nomination in 2014 for his album, Traveling
Sonata - European Music For Flute & Guitar, which he co-produced
with Viviana Guzman, for the category of Producer of the Year
(Classical).

Sundin Music Hall Concert
Greek Guitarist Antigoni Goni at Sundin
Music Hall on April 17 — by Annett Richter
O
n April 17, Greekborn, internationally renowned
classical guitarist Antigoni
Goni will be with us at
Sundin Hall, presenting a
diverse program of guitar
music from the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. It
has been several years since
her past performance for
the Minnesota Guitar Society, and we’re delighted to welcome her
back this Spring.
I first heard Antigoni Goni in the 1990s when she gave a
guest recital during the annual Christopher Parkening Guitar
Masterclass at Montana State University in Bozeman. I particularly remember her extraordinary musicality. For Goni, technique
is only a means to an end: “Technique should only and always be
a humble servant of the music.” Ultimately, her goal is to move
her audiences. She firmly believes in creating for her listeners “an
artistic experience that touches [their] heart[s].”
Ms. Goni’s career has been international from the beginning. While pursuing her first guitar studies in the 1980s with
Evangelos Assimakopoulos at the National Conservatory of

Tickets: $22 (general admission), $17 (MGS members & seniors)
$10 (students & patrons with limited means)
Sundin Music Hall is on the
Hamline University Campus at
1536 Hewitt Ave. in St. Paul.
Directions: from I-94, head north on
Snelling Ave. in St. Paul, past University Ave. to Hewitt Ave.
Turn right, Sundin Hall is on your left, a half-block east of
Snelling. Free parking is available one block past the hall, in lots
off Hewitt (on your right) or off Pascal (1 block north).
Athens, Greece, she won the 1988 Havana International Guitar
Competition. As a result, Leo Brouwer, the competition’s Artistic
Director, recommended Goni to the Royal Academy of Music in
London where she studied with John Mills and Julian Bream.
She also attended masterclasses with Oscar Ghiglia in Siena,
Italy. After moving to the United States, she studied with Sharon
Isbin at Juilliard.
Ms. Goni is the winner of many prizes at international competitions, among others the Julian Bream Prize and the Concerto
Prize at the Royal Academy of Music in 1991, the Laureate
Bayerischer Rundfunk International Competition in Germany
in 1993, and the Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music Award in
1996. She won the Guitar Foundation of America Competition
in 1995, recorded with Naxos, and toured North America with
over sixty concerts. Additionally, Ms. Goni has given concerts
at Wigmore Hall and Covent Garden (London), Alice Tully Hall
and Carnegie Hall (NYC), Spivey Hall (Atlanta), Benaroya Hall
(Seattle), Herbst Theatre (San Francisco), Megaron Hall and
Herodion Attikon, Akropolis (Athens), the Concertgebouw
(Amsterdam), the Bolshoi Theater (Moscow), at the Mikulov
Festival (Czech Republic), in Novosibirsk (Russia), in Japan, and
on Hawaii.
As an internationally active guitar teacher, Goni founded
in 1995 and headed, for ten years, the guitar department at the
Juilliard Pre-College Division. Besides teaching seminars and
masterclasses around the world, she has also served as Artist in
Residence for San Francisco Performances, working with diverse
students of all ages (see photo). In 2004, she returned to Europe
and has since been Professor of Guitar at the Royal Conservatory
in Brussels, Belgium, as well as Associate of the Royal Academy of
Music in London.
Since 2006, Goni has been directing a new guitar institute,
The Volterra Project , <http://www.volterraguitar.org>, which
grew from her desire to pass on to young guitarists the collective wisdom and support she herself had received from others.
Taking place in Volterra, Tuscany, Italy, this annual institute is
an “innovative experiment in classical guitar training, offering
a 360-degree formative course with highest level guitar master
classes, music physiology training, and music business management seminars taught by experienced, internationally renowned
continued on p. 5
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota
through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the
Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative
appropriation from the arts and
cultural heritage fund.
Sundin Music Hall is handicap accessible and there is
ample free parking available.

Community Concert—Local Artist Spotlight
M
aja Radovanlija is classical guitarist, improviser and guitar
instructor from Belgrade, Serbia,
currently based in Minneapolis. Her performances are notable for their intensity,
humor and precision. She and her guitar
become one instrument. She began studying guitar at the age of nine. She completed
her bachelor’s degree at the University
of Belgrade as a student of Prof. Srdjan Tosic. Maja came to the
United States to study at Indiana University’s School of Music
where she received both her master’s and doctoral degrees under
Ernesto Bitetti, as well as to study early music with lutenist Nigel
North. She has performed extensively as an international solo and
chamber musician, touring Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Macedonia,
Greece, Tunisia, Switzerland and other European countries.
She joined the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet in 2012, bringing an
eclectic musical background including performances with Mu
Daiko Japanese Theater and improvised concerts with guitarist/
composer Alex Lubet, as well as participating in workshops led
by famous jazz musician Vojin Draskoci. Maja was awarded First

professionals.” It prepares young guitarists, in a non-competitive
setting, for creating successful careers as performers. Students
learn about human physiology and develop awareness of their
own bodies to prepare for many years of practicing and performing in good health. They also practice “artistic socialization,” that
is, they “coexist and exchange views, knowledge, experience”
with their teachers. For Antigoni Goni, successfully navigating a
performing career involves knowing how to nourish professional
relationships with others—and doing so across international
boundaries in an increasingly globalized world. The Volterra
Project is sponsored by the Augustine Foundation, Galli Strings,

University of Minnesota - School of Music.
