North Valley Music School presents a special concert by Grammy-winning classical guitarist Jason Vieaux!
Sought-after for his extensive concerto repertoire, Vieaux has performed with a long list of orchestras including Cleveland, Toronto, St. Louis, Houston, Columbus, and has made premiere recordings with the Nashville Symphony (Leshnoff Concerto) and the Norrköping Symphony (Beal Six Sixteen). He has worked with renowned conductors including Giancarlo Guerrero, Jahja Ling, Gerard Schwarz, and David Robertson.
Vieaux’s passion for new music has fostered premieres from Jeff Beal, Avner Dorman, Vivian Fung, Pierre Jalbert, Jonathan Leshnoff, David Ludwig, Mark Mancina, and Dan Visconti, among many others.
Vieaux’s extensive discography includes his “Bach Volume 2: Works for Violin” released on Azica in 2022 to rave reviews for his “eloquent and vibrant performances” (Gramophone). Additional 2022 releases include “Shining Night” featuring his duo with acclaimed violinist Anne Akiko Meyers (Avie Records) and Michael Fine’s “Concierto del Luna” with flutist Alexa Still (Sony Classical), both enjoying strong critical acclaim.
Vieaux recorded Pat Metheny’s “Four Paths of Light”, a solo work dedicated to him by Pat, for Metheny’s 2021 album “Road to the Sun”. Jason Vieaux won the 2014 Best Instrumental Classical Solo Grammy Award for “Play”. The Huffington Post declared PLAY is “part of the revitalized interest in the classical guitar”.
This concert is part of our 2026 Classical Guitar Series, an exceptional new performance series featuring some of the most distinguished classical guitarists in the world to the Flathead Valley. Curated and sponsored by Whitefish resident, classical guitarist, and producer James Stroud, the series represents an extraordinary investment in the artistic vibrancy of Northwest Montana.
Through Stroud’s leadership and vision, NVMS will host four internationally acclaimed artists throughout 2026 in the Stack Recital Hall. Each guitarist is celebrated for their virtuosity, innovation, and contributions to the global guitar community.
Concerts are free, but any donations will go toward the NVMS Scholarship Program.
