Stephen Aron classical guitarist Described by the New York Times as cultivated and musical, Stephen Aron performs regularly throughout the US, Canada and Europe. An avid arranger, his work is published by Tuscany Editions (wonderful guitaristic arrangement, American Music Teacher), Mel Bay Publications (historic, Guitart) and Clear Note Publications (a book to be ignored at your peril, Classical Guitar). Clear Note also recently published several of Mr. Arons original compositions (imaginative, adventurous, effortlessly entertaining, Classical Guitar). He has released twelve publications, totaling over 500 pages of music.
Arons recordings have been described as stunning (Guitar Review), superbly produced (Soundboard), warmly recommended (Fanfare) and inspired (Classical Guitar). Notably, most of the works on his eight CDs are either original arrangements, original compositions, or premiere recordings of the works of others. His recordings and publications of thirty Lieder ohne Worte by Felix Mendelssohn and the complete Chopin Mazurkas, both for solo guitar, were industry firsts. He is a dedicated chamber music advocate, and maintains a regular duo with his wife, soprano JoNell Aron, and another with flutist Jane Berkner. He plays frequently with mixed chamber ensembles both traditional and new music.
