Mark O’Connor & Friends: An Appalachian Christmas as part of Arkansas State University's Fowler Center 2013-14 Riceland Distinguished Performance Series.
Hailed as "one of the most talented and imaginative artists working in
music," by the Los Angeles Times, this multi-Grammy winning musician and
composer, most known for his million-selling composition "Appalachia
Waltz" has composed nine concertos and two symphonies as well as authoring
a new violin method that tens of thousands of children are learning from. After
30 years, Mark still remains the only person that has won the National Fiddle
Championship, the National Guitar Flatpicking Championship and the World
Mandolin Championship. He was also voted "musician of the year" for
six years in a row by the Country Music Association.
For "An Appalachian Christmas"
Mark O'Connor features some of his favorite musicians and songs from the
country/bluegrass, pop, classical and jazz worlds of his musical journey.
