Studio A

Classical guitarist Jason Vieaux has a lot of accomplishments to his name.

He was the youngest ever winner of the Guitar Foundation of America International Guitar Competition, he was the first classical musician to appear on NPR’s Tiny Desk and he won a Grammy for his 2015 album "Play."

He recently visited Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio and gave a performance and interview in front of a live audience.
