?As presenters and fans of the classical guitar have known for years, some of my solo programs have a certain鈥爐ype of over-arching theme to them, like my e/MERGE programs, and then there are those where I stylistically just pull out all鈥爐he stops. Well, this program is the latter ? this concert has Bach, Argentinean, 19th Century Italian, Modern, Renaissance,鈥燬panish, Delta Blues, Jazz, all in just over 60 minutes! I hope it?s a musical adventure that my audience in Mt. Pleasant will enjoy," Vieaux said.
In June 2012, Jason Vieaux launched the Jason Vieaux Classical Guitar School from ArtistWorks. This revolutionary online鈥爏chool, the first of its kind for classical guitar, gives students of any age, ability, or location an unprecedented level of access to鈥爏tudies with Vieaux through ArtistWorks?

"Vieaux is an immensely talented artist and music educator. We are looking forward to his performance at the Whatley Center," Carolyn Franks, Director of the Whatley Center, said.
