I recently saw him perform and thought this was a great description of him: Describing Mark O’Connor to someone unfamiliar with him is akin to explaining wind to someone who has never been outside. Just like wind can be anything from a gentle breeze to a hurricane, Mark O’Connor is an American bluegrass/ country/classical/jazz/folk/fiddler/violinist/composer/music teacher/author. He has recorded his Americana Symphony with the Baltimore Symphony and conductor Marin Alsop, his 2nd and 3rd String Quartets with Ida Kavafian, Paul Neubauer, and Matt Haimovitz, and his Double Violin Concerto with Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg. Then there’s swing music on his recording Hot Swing with Frank Vignola and John Burr, a folk-inspired recording with Carol Cook and Natalie Haas who, with O’Connor, comprise the Appalachia Waltz Trio, and March of the Gypsy Fiddler…a triple concerto he wrote for the Ahn Trio and ProMusica Chamber Orchestra.
