Yolanda Kondonassis | Jason Vieaux:

What A Wonderful World

Internationally acclaimed harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and virtuoso classical guitarist Jason Vieaux follow the release of their celebrated duo debut album Together with a new encore single, "What a Wonderful World," written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss and arranged by Vieaux. The duo performed the song, made famous by Louis Armstrong, as an encore at their New York debut concert earlier this year. Of the decision to play the song together, Kondonassis says, "We're both huge fans of rock, pop, jazz, soul you name it, so a brief foray into another genre didn't seem like a stretch for us. After a classical program, we thought both the song and its message seemed like a nice send-off for our audience."
