Acclaimed fiddler/violinist and Grammy Award winning recording artist Mark O’Connor will be featured at the 18th annual Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestras Summer Music Festival at Loyola University.
The festival, scheduled for June 6-10, will provide the opportunity for students to engage in small group instruction, participate in performance opportunities and enjoy social interaction with other talented musicians.
O’Connor, who performs with the O’Connor Family Band and has been hailed as “brilliantly original” by the Seattle Times, combines bluegrass, folk, jazz and classical genres to create a uniquely American sound. He has developed a patented training program for strings called The O’Connor MethodTM and holds workshops all over the U.S.
