Grammy-winner Jason Vieaux, "among the elite of today's classical guitarists" (Gramophone), is described by NPR as "perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation". In appearances from New York's Lincoln Center to Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and the Seoul Arts Center, Jason Vieaux has cemented his reputation as an artist of brilliance and uncompromised mastery. Cited for his "eloquent and vibrant performances" on disc (Gramophone Magazine) he is hailed as "virtuosic, flamboyant, dashing and, sometimes ineffably lyrical" (New York Times) on stage.
Heralded as "the next accordion star," Julien Labro has established himself as the foremost accordion and bandoneón player in both the classical and jazz genres. Deemed to be "a triple threat: brilliant technician, poetic melodist and cunning arranger," his artistry, virtuosity, and creativity as a musician, composer and arranger have earned him international acclaim and continue to astonish audiences worldwide.
