The Amateur Music Network and Old First Concerts present Sarah Cahill’s Backstage Pass, inviting the audience into a welcoming space for active listening, a glimpse into diverse artistic processes and engaging music-making, with special guest Jason Vieaux, described by NPR as “perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation.” Jason is known for his arrangements of pop music for the classical guitar, using its almost orchestral capacities to build texture and characterization. We’ll explore the process with him and find out what inspires these cross-genre explorations.
