His win at the GFA competition led to a 53-city solo recital tour of the United States and France, followed by his debut with the Cleveland Orchestra.
Vieaux completed an extensive tour of Asia as an artistic ambassador of the United States in 1995, performing concerts and offering master classes throughout seven countries, including Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Thailand. He was a featured guest on the Washington, D.C., radio program Voice of America at the start of his tour.
A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music, Vieaux performed at the 1996 International Guitar Festival in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and he was a prizewinner at the 1996 Naumburg International Guitar Competition in New York. He now serves on the guitar department faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music.
Last year Vieaux premiered Argentinean composer José Luis Merlin’s Sueño con Caballos, a three-movement work dedicated to Vieaux, and earlier this year he premiered a piece dedicated to him by composer Arthur Hernandez. Vieaux’s recording entitled Laureate Series Guitar Recital, a CD of Latin American guitar music, was called a “must-have” by Ted Libbey on National Public Radio’s Performance Today.
For this recital, Vieaux will perform Manuel Ponce’s Sonata No. 3 and Sonatina Meridional; Hans-Werner Hanze’s Drei Tentos; Bach’s Lute Suite No. 1; and several works by Isaac Albéniz.
