BLUE RIVER SERIES CONCERT Mark O’Connor’s Hot Swing
Virtuoso Violinist and composer Mark O'Connor is widely recognized as one of the most gifted contemporary composers in America and surely one of the brightest talents of his generation. O'Connor has been a top name on the Bluegrass circuit since he first won a national bluegrass fiddling title as a teenager. He has used the years since to branch out into multiple musical genres. His recent recordings include "Appalachia Waltz," trio performances with cellist Yo Yo Ma and bassist Edgar Meyer, music written by O'Connor and Meyer. His compositions on the classical side include four violin concertos and the "Americana Symphony," recently recorded by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under Marin Alsop. O'Connor traces his performance roots from America's rich aural folk tradition, including folk fiddler and innovator Benny Thomasson, as well as classical and flamenco music. O’Connor’s jazz performances and compositions pay tribute to his friend and mentor, the legendary French jazz master Stephane Grappelli. While performing a number of tunes closely associated with Grappelli, O’Connor’s albums and live performances extend the repertoire with O’Connor’s original compositions. Joined by guitarists such as Frank Vignola and Julian Lage, ‘Hot Swing’ continues to celebrate acoustic string jazz/Gypsy Jazz Style in new and exciting ways. Tickets will be $26 in advance, and $30 Day Of Show. Tickets will be available at the Riverwalk Center Box Office (970)547-3100
