Experience Julian Lage live on July 12th

Julian Lage will perform at the Festival Minerva Musicae on July 12, 2026, in San Biagio, Italy. Lage is a highly regarded American guitarist and composer known for his distinctive approach to jazz guitar. His style blends elements of traditional jazz with influences from folk, classical music, and American roots traditions. Characterized by intricate melodic lines, harmonic sophistication, and a remarkably clean tone, his playing often evokes a sense of lyrical storytelling. He gained prominence as a protégé of Gary Burton and has since established himself as a leading voice in contemporary jazz.
