"Mark and Maggie O’Connor: American Classics identifies
the cornerstones of repertoire, style and wonderful diversity of A
New American School of String Playing. Mining a huge body of
repertoire that has made its impact on American music, the selected
tunes and arrangements by Mr. O'Connor represent stylistic importance,
pedagogical value and have timeless appeal. The program offers a broad and
interconnecting collection of American music through violin/fiddle
solos and duos, with additional original music by Mr. O'Connor on violin,
guitar and mandolin and augmented by Americana vocal song
treatments. Audiences will find themselves inspired by the songbook
of America as they have never heard it before.
"An Appalachian Christmas" by Mr. O'Connor was released in 2010 to both critical and commercial success.
The concert will be on PAC's Mainstage.
