Jason Vieaux - Guitar Masters Series

  • E. Desmond Lee Concert Hall at the 560 Music Center 560 Trinity Avenue University City, MO, 63130 United States (map)

Grammy-winner Jason Vieaux is described by NPR as “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation” and “among the elite of today’s classical guitarists” (Gramophone).

Jason has performed world premieres from composers Jeff Beal, Avner Dorman, Vivian Fung, Pierre Jalbert, Jonathan Leshnoff, David Ludwig, Mark Mancina, Dan Visconti, and many more. Of his Grammy-winning 2014 solo album Play, HuffPost declared that Play is “part of the revitalized interest in the classical guitar.” 

Vieaux’s regular collaborators include Escher String Quartet, Grammy-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, Grammy-nominated harpist Yolanda Kondonassis, accordion/bandoneon virtuoso Julien Labro, and violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. He holds faculty positions at Curtis Institute of Music and Cleveland Institute of Music.

Join us after the concert for a reception in the Pillsbury Theatre with Mr. Vieaux.

A master class with Mr. Vieaux will be held on Saturday, December 10th at 10:00 AM at the 560 Music Center recital hall. Local area guitar students will perform.
