Mark O’Connor’s An Appalachian Christmas

“Mark is a supreme master at what he does. Between thought and execution there are no impediments, zero.” – Yo-Yo Ma

Three-time Grammy-winning composer and fiddler Mark O’Connor brings an elegance and earnestness to down-home bluegrass and folk music. His annual holiday tour draws on his celebrated album An Appalachian Christmas and features fresh arrangements of Christmas classics, both vocal and instrumental. The spirited performance captures the varied emotions of the season: playfulness, joy, contemplation, gratitude and more. O’Connor’s touring ensemble includes his wife Maggie O’Connor on fiddle and vocals.
