Bokyung Byun

Recipient of the 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Bokyung Byun has rapidly emerged as one of the most sought-after guitarists of her generation. After completing degrees at The Juilliard School and the University of Southern California, she is the first female winner of the prestigious JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition. Her performance there was praised by Falletta as “stunning, showcasing her gorgeous tone, immaculate technique, and sophisticated muscianship.” Bokyung Byun’s recent honors include the grand prizes at the Montreal International Classical Guitar Competition and the prestigious 2021 Guitar Foundation of America International Concert Artist Competition where in a review it was said of her playing “state of the art guitar performance has reached a new level.”

TGS would like to give thanks to The Church of the Good Shepherd for their support and all of you who continue to renew memberships and make donations which give us a lifeline that keeps us going.

We are non-profit; none of us TGS Board members get any renumeration. Our biggest pleasure derives from seeing all of you marvel at these concerts, our open mics (next one is December 13th), our remarkable newsletter and the additional events that we produce. Join tonight and know that you are supporting an important arts organization in your home town.
