Grammy Winning Guitarist Jason Vieaux Live Performance at Gualala Arts
Gualala Arts and the Global Harmony Series Present Grammy-winning guitarist Jason Vieaux, performing music of Spain and Latin America, J.S. Bach and Pat Metheny. The concert is scheduled for Wednesday, November 17 at 2:00pm at Gualala Arts. Advance tickets for this special mid-week acoustic guitar event are available at Gualala Arts, the Dolphin Gallery, and at EventBrite.com. The concert is scheduled for the outdoor JAMI amphitheater, tucked into the redwoods at Gualala Arts but may be moved indoors to Coleman Hall in case of rain.
There’s high praise for Jason Vieaux. Gramophone declared him “among the elite of today’s classical guitarists,” and NPR opined that he's “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation”. Among his extensive discography is the 2015 Grammy-winning album for Best Classical Instrumental Solo, “Play”.
Recent performance highlights include debuts at the Domaine-Forget Festival, Carmel Bach Festival, as well as a return to San Francisco Performances (part of an annual Artist Residency), Caramoor Festival (as Artist-in-Residence), Ravinia, and Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
In March 2021, Jason Vieaux performed the premiere recording of a new solo guitar suite, “Four Points of Light” composed for Jason by jazz legend (and 20-time Grammy-winner) Pat Metheny for his new album Road To The Sun (BMG Modern). Also released on Naxos is the 2019 recording of Jonathan Leshnoff’s Guitar Concerto with Nashville Symphony.
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear a world-class guitarist (and a Grammy-winner!) Tickets are at Gualala Arts, the Dolphin Gallery and EventBrite.Com.
