Baltimore native Leshnoff was commissioned by Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for a new concerto for virtuoso guitarist Manuel Barrueco, who also lived in Baltimore. This convergence allowed the composer to work closely with the Concerto's intended performer, who greatly assisted with the fingerings and challenges associated with Leshnoff's first composition for guitar. Premiered in January 2014 by the BSO under Alsop with Barrueco as soloist, the Concerto would also be adopted by the brilliant guitarist Jason Vieaux, who recorded it with the Nashville Symphony in 2015.
