Mark O”Connor (b. August 5, 1961, Seattle, Washington)”One of the most spectacular journeys in recent American music.” – The New York Times”One of the most talented and imaginative artists working in music — any music — today.” – The Los Angeles Times”Brilliantly original.” – The Seattle Times”The audience was on its feet . . . They were moved by Mr. O”Connor”s journey without maps, cheering for the only musician today who can reach so deeply first into the refined, then the vernacular, giving his listeners a complex, sophisticated piece of early-21st-century classical music and then knocking them dead with the brown-dirt whine of a Texas fiddle.” – The New York Times Mark O”Connor began his creative journey at the feet of American fiddling legend Benny Thomasson, and the iconic French jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli. Now, at age 59, he has melded these influences into a new American classical music, and is perpetuating his vision of an American School of String Playing. Mr. O”Connor has won three Grammys, seven CMA awards as well as several national fiddle, guitar and mandolin champion titles. His distinguished career includes representing the United States Information Agency in cultural diplomacy to six continents and performing in front of several U.S. presidents including being invited to the White House by President Ronald Reagan to perform as a teen.After recording a series of albums for Rounder and Warner Bros including his multiple Grammy-winning New Nashville Cats, his recordings for Sony Classical with Yo-Yo Ma, Appalachia Waltz and Appalachian Journey sold a million CDs and gained O”Connor worldwide recognition as a leading proponent of a new American musical idiom. Mr. O”Connor”s Fiddle Concerto released on Warner Bros. has become the most-performed violin concerto composed in the last 50 years. On his own OMAC Records label, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra recorded his sweeping Americana Symphony while his groundbreaking 9th concerto, The Improvised Violin Concerto was recorded in Boston Symphony Hall. His new touring group, the Mark O”Connor Band consisting of family members (wife, son and daughter-in-law) debuted at #1 on Billboard Magazine”s bluegrass album chart and their first album Coming Home won a Grammy in 2017 and followed it up with a live band album A Musical Legacy. Mr. O”Connor has authored a series of educational books called the O”Connor Method and is now the fastest growing violin method in the country and tens of thousands can credit the O”Connor books for learning how to play stringed instruments. The O”Connor Method features American music styles, creativity, cultural diversity and western classical technical training. Mr. O”Connor tours nationally as the Mark O”Connor Duo with his wife Maggie, with his perennial An Appalachian Christmas and performs his original concertos with symphony orchestras. He resides in North Carolina with his wife, and duo partner Maggie O”Connor. For more information, please see www.markoconnor.com, www.oconnormethod.com, and www.markandmaggieoconnor.com.
