Grammy-winning guitar virtuoso Jason Vieaux gives the world premiere of composer Dan Visconti's guitar concerto Living Language with the California Symphony in two performances led by Music Director Donato Cabrera. The concerts also include Brahms' Symphony No. 2 and Philip Glass' Company for String Orchestra. Commissioned by the California Symphony, Living Language follows Devil's Strum, a blues-infused work for solo guitar that Visconti wrote for Vieaux in 2010, which Vieaux has performed widely.
Gramophone magazine puts Jason Vieaux "among the elite of today's classical guitarists." His most recent solo album, Play, won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo.
