Guitarist and lutenist Jon Mendle has toured with Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble and
made his Carnegie Hall debut while still a student at the age of 19. He received his bachelor’s
and master’s degrees, and Professional Studies Diploma from the San Francisco Conservatory of
Music. Jon’s teachers at the Conservatory included Judicael Perroy, Latin Grammy winner
Sergio Assad, and Richard Savino, with whom he studied lutes and early guitars. Jon has also
had lute lessons with Nigel North, Ronn McFarlane and Paul O’Dette. His first album L’Infidele,
produced by Assad, was called “a beautiful disc” by Soundboard magazine, which
added, “Mendle’s playing is a wonder. In 2021, Jon was awarded second prize in the Concorso di
Musica Antica “Maurizio Pratola” international lute competition in L’Aquila, Italy.
Jon performs on a variety of instruments, including nineteenth-century guitar, Renaissance and
baroque lutes and guitars, vihuela and theorbo. When away from his arsenal of plucked
instruments, he enjoys studying the sweet science of boxing and guzzling espresso.
