This performance is part of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra's Guitar Festival .

Classical guitarist Jason Vieaux has taken a work by jazz guitarist Pat Metheny and given it a Baroque mix, adding Bach and one of Bach's contemporaries to make a stimulating guitar conversation between forms past and present. Steven Mackey takes the changeable form of the chamber ensemble and plugs in his electric guitar to join SLSO violinists Jooyeon Kong and Asako Kuboki, violist Jonathan Vinocour and cellist Bjorn Ranheim. Then the acoustic ensemble remains to explore a work by an Old Master of the electric guitar, Jimi Hendrix.

The Ideal (Dis-) Placements Concert Series at the Pulitzer is held in collaboration with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. The pieces performed relate directly to the exhibition Ideal (Dis-) Placements: Old Masters at the Pulitzer and are performed by members of the Saint Louis Symphony. Each of the programs are chosen by Music Director David Robertson based on the way they relate to the exhibition concepts and the works of art on view.
