Recital: Jon Mendle, classical guitar

San Francisco-based classical guitarist Jon Mendle has performed around the country since his Carnegie Hall debut at age 19 and has drawn widespread praise for his virtuosity and musicianship. Yo-Yo Ma, who in 2010 invited Jon to join him and the Silk Road Ensemble on a 10-concert tour, has called Mendle "a beautiful talent and a sensitive musician," adding, "It is a joy to play with him!"
