Welcome to the website of Jon Mendle, 11-string Archguitarist and member of the San Francisco Guitar Quartet and Pacific Guitar Ensemble. Feel free to browse the website and email Jon at yogaofmusic@yahoo.com. Thanks for visiting!
Latest news: It's about time for an update! I've been playing with the newly formed Pacific Guitar Ensemble, featuring David Tanenbaum, Lawrence Ferrara, Marc Teicholz, Peppino D'Agostino, Michael Bautista, and myself, and having a blast doing it. Finishing up my second-to-last semester at SFCM.
Look for my name on page 64 of the January, 2010 edition of Acoustic Guitar magazine. I recorded Sergio Assad's piece "Old Palm Tree" for them about a month ago. Played a bit with the Oakland Symphony in early November, still playing with the San Francisco Guitar Quartet and loving it.
A Naxos recording was just released of Steve Mackey's "Measures of Turbulence," with me on electric guitar. You can find it here: http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.559650
...I'm thinking I should turn this section into a separate blog...anyhow, stay tuned! My second Graduate recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music is May 8, 2010 at 8 pm in the Osher Salon (@ 50 Oak St). More updates around the website soon!
