Jason Vieaux Recital
Join us for an unforgettable evening with Grammy-winning guitarist Jason Vieaux, hailed by Gramophone as “among the elite of today’s classical guitarists” and by NPR as “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation.”
From Lincoln Center to Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vieaux has earned a reputation for performances that are both masterful and deeply expressive. He has appeared with major ensembles including The Cleveland Orchestra and collaborated with legendary jazz guitarist and composer Pat Metheny, who wrote Four Paths of Light especially for him.
This program, crafted for the Carmel Bach Festival, showcases the guitar’s expressive range. J.S. Bach’s music is well-suited to the instrument, allowing his intricate counterpoint to speak with clarity and warmth in a way that feels both intellectually satisfying and emotionally direct. Paired with Metheny’s Four Paths of Light — a meditative, jazz-infused solo work — the recital becomes a dialogue across centuries, united by one artist’s singular voice.
