Guitarist JIJI and Violinist Danbi Um to Perform at Cooperstown Summer Music Festival August 22

Guitarist JIJI and violinist Danbi Um, both celebrated young virtuosos on their respective instruments, will present a duo performance at the Otesaga Resort Hotel on Monday, August 22 at 7:00pm, part of the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival’s 24th season.

The duo will present a genre-spanning program of works by Corelli, Paganini, Piazzolla, and Ella Fitzgerald, in a performance that will expand the audience’s conception of the capabilities of each instrument.

In addition to the wide-ranging program, Festival Founder and Artistic Director Linda Chesis says this performance offers something else: the rare opportunity to see these two superlative musicians join forces.

“These are two powerhouse performers taking the stage as a duo, which is an incredibly intimate format,” says Chesis. “You will get to see a side of these two that you won’t see anywhere else.”
