Grammy-winning guitarist Jason Vieaux premieres Dan’s new guitar concerto Living Language this May under maestro Donato Cabrera. The work is inspired by folk music from around the globe and has been co-commissioned by the Koussevitzky Music Foundation at the Library of Congress, the California Symphony, and a consortium of US orchestras including the Reading Symphony, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, and Richmond Symphony with others still joining for performances in 2017/2018 and beyond.
Listen to Jason play excerpts of Dan’s new genre-shredding concerto in this radio interview, and listen to Jason perform Dan’s solo showpiece Devil’s Strum on WNYC’s Soundcheck for a taste of what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch hailed as a “tour de force” of blues-laced guitar virtuosity:
