Performance Today describes classical guitarist Jordan Dodson as one of the top young guitarists of his generation. A winner of Astral's 2013 National Auditions, he is an active soloist and chamber musician based in New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Dodsons recent performance and teaching schedule has taken him across the U.S. and abroad to venues such as (Le) Poisson Rouge (New York City), Roulette (Brooklyn), the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts (Philadelphia), and the Museo Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá), and to such music festivals as the Kingston Chamber Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, and Festival Daniou (France).

In the fall of 2011, Mr. Dodson was one of two students selected to inaugurate the Curtis Institute of Musics classical guitar studio, bringing to the school not only a new instrument, but also new repertoire and new possibilities for music-making. Curtis Dean John Mangan said Dodson fulfilled the schools need for ambassadors for the instrument and its repertoire who could create interest among their peers, along with a desire to collaborate.

Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Jordan Dodson started playing music at a young age. He holds degrees from the Curtis Institute of Music, the Manhattan School of Music, and the Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music, and his teachers have included Clare Callahan, David Starobin, and Jason Vieaux. He plays a Gary Lee guitar.
