Jason Vieaux - an Evening in Granada ~Birds of Paradise Productions
Hochstein Music School Performance Hall
8:00 - 10:00pm

GRAMMY WINNER JASON VIEAUX AT HOCHSTEIN

Guitarist Jason Vieaux returns to the Hochstein Performance Hall to on March 21, 2020. An Evening in Granada will pay homage to the traditions of the guitar from it’s roots in Andalucia to it’s contemporary voice with selections from Jason’s award-winning album - PLAY.

Honoring the 100th anniversary of the school created in memory of the young musician David Hochstein, guitarist Jason Vieaux will return to the venue where he, as a 12-year old guitar student was welcomed, nurtured, and supported in his rise to become a world-recognized artist. Jason became the youngest winner of the most prestigious awards: Guitar Foundation of America Guitar Competition at age 19. In 2015 he became the first guitarist to win the Recording Academy Grammy in 2014 for Best Classical instrumental Solo Album: PLAY.

Hailed by National Public Radio (NPR) as “the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation,” Vieaux was the first classical guitarist featured on NPR’s “Tiny Desk” series. He has earned a reputation for putting his expressiveness and virtuosity at the service of a remarkably wide range of music. Vieaux has soloed in every major guitar series in the U.S. and abroad, and has guested with more than 100 orchestras worldwide. He co-founded the guitar programs at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Eastern Music Festival, and has taught guitar at the Cleveland Institute of Music since 1997.
