Internationally acclaimed solo artists Yolanda Kondonassis and Jason Vieaux join forces to showcase the rich colors and unique repertoire for harp and guitar. Internationally acclaimed harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and virtuoso classical guitarist Jason Vieaux join forces to release their first duo recording, Together, which features original works for harp and guitar including Alan Hovhaness' Spirit of Trees, Xavier Montsalvatge's Fantasia, Máximo Diego Pujol's Suite Magica, and two world premiere recordings of works commissioned by the duo: Knock on Wood (2012) by Keith Fitch and Hypnotized (2013) by Gary Schocker.

The album marks Kondonassis' 19th album in a recording career that has been recognized with a Grammy Award nomination, and broken boundaries with hundreds of thousands of discs and downloads sold worldwide. It is Vieaux's 13th recording and follows his most recent album, PLAY, for which he received a 2014 Grammy nomination.

Kondonassis explains, 'A common thread in compositions written for harp and guitar is often a nod to world music cultures - Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern, and everything in between . . . the result is a sonic space unlike most chamber music territories.' Vieaux adds, 'Part of what we're doing is attempting to expand the repertoire for guitar and harp because we think the combination of these two instruments is beautiful.'

Since 2012, Kondonassis and Vieaux have performed to critical acclaim from New York to California. The Cleveland Plain Dealer praised the duo's performance as 'a joy from top to bottom' adding that 'Kondonassis and Vieaux deserve to be termed magicians for the way they shaped phrases with natural fluidity, grace and, when required, fiery drama.' The Buffalo News raved, 'it was difficult to hear where one instrument ends and the other begins - the mystical effect of one great intangible apparent throughout the program: the intuitive synchronicity of Kondonassis and Vieaux.'
