ArtistWorks instructor Jason Vieaux is one of only six people to ever win a Grammy Award for classical guitar.  Since winning for “best classical instrumental solo” for his album Play earlier this year, he joins an elite group of renowned guitarists who include Andrés Segovia, David Russell, Sharon Isbin, John Williams and Julian Bream.

As you can imagaine, it’s been pretty busy for Jason lately. Aside from keeping up with Video Exchanges from his online students at ArtistWorks, he’s been involved with a number of interesting things which are worth mentioning here. 

“I feel like I am standing on the shoulders of giants before me who paved the way to win something like that.” - Jason Vieaux

You can hear a recent interview with Jason and some of his beautiful playing on this episode of "Articulate with Jim Cotter" :

In July Jason performed and taught at the Eastern Music Festival in Greensboro, NC as part of their inaugural Classical Guitar Program.  A select number of students had the opportunity to study one-on-one throughout the 11-day program at the festival with their guitar faculty which consists of Jason, Julian Gray and Kami Rowan. We encourage these students to continue their guitar studies with Jason online through Video Exchange® at ArtistWorks!

This summer Jason also performed at the Kingston Chamber Music Festival, the Strings Music Festival, plus other venues around the country and abroad.

In other news, Jason has also been promoting his album with harpist Yolanda Kondonassis called Together. Click here to listen to an interview with Jason and Yolanda from yourclassical.org where they discuss their collaboration and perform some of the music.
