Jason Vieaux is an esteemed classical guitarist, renowned for his eloquence, precision, and soulful musicianship. Born in 1973, Vieaux's passion for the guitar began at an early age, leading him to study at the Cleveland Institute of Music under the tutelage of guitar virtuoso John Holmquist. Since launching his career with a debut in 1995, Vieaux has established himself as a preeminent figure in the classical guitar world. His expansive repertoire includes works from the Renaissance period to contemporary music, showcasing his versatility and depth as an artist.

With a discography that underscores his commitment to both classical standards and innovative contemporary works, Vieaux's most recent releases highlight his adeptness at arranging and interpreting a wide array of compositions. From the intricate works of J.S. Bach, as presented in "Violin Works, Vol. 2 (Arr. for Guitar)," to the rhythmically complex pieces by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla in "The Music of Astor Piazzolla," Vieaux's agile technique and interpretive insight shine through. Not limited to solo performances, his collaborations with artists like Anne Akiko Meyers on "Shining Night" firmly establish his dynamism in the chamber music realm. His commitment to expanding the guitar's presence is evident in "Infusion," a mix of jazz, Latin, and rock sounds. In 2015, Vieaux won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo for his album "Play," a testament to his artistry and impact on classical music.
