Mistral is pleased to welcome back the international Grammy-winning guitarist Jason Vieaux to the Mistral stage with founding artistic director, flutist Julie Scolnik. They will perform an intimate program of duos that span centuries, nationalities, and styles. The program will include works by Bartok, Leclair, Leisner, Ravel, and Pat Metheny (!) and Latin composers Da Falla, Piazzolla, Albeniz, and de Abreu. We are thrilled that audiences will once again have the chance to experience the artistry of this riveting performer.
Jason Vieaux has been called “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation” (NPR). His latest solo album, Play, won the 2015 Best Classical Instrumental Solo Grammy. He has performed all over the world as soloist with over 100 orchestras, and recitals at Caramoor, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Ravinia, 92nd Street Y, and Bard. His passion for new music has fostered premieres by a multitude of living composers. He has released 15 albums. He was the first classical musician to be featured on NPR’s “Tiny Desk” series. He has received a Naumburg Foundation top prize, a Cleveland Institute of Music Alumni Achievement Award, and a Salon di Virtuosi Career Grant.
