	Current Projects - Mark O'Connor - Official Website - MarkOConnor.Com - Violinist - Composer - Fiddler
		"Appalachia Waltz" was recorded previously by O'Connor with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Meyer, and it remains one of the most moving compositions in the violinist's vast repertoire.
		Tripple-threat O'Connor is a jazz artist, a respected classical/folk composer and a fiddler who performs chamber-music Americana in the "Appalachia Waltz" style that first blew audiences away a decade ago.
		Since then, cellist Yo-Yo Ma,who was featured with O'Connor and bassist Edgar Meyer on the first two "Appalachia Waltz" CDs and tours, has made a solo version of the wistful title track his signature piece around the world, as an eloquent little encore.

	Appalachia in Hightstown
		The Appalachia Waltz ensemble, a string trio founded in 2002, grew out of O'Connor's internalized earlier experiences, and appears at the Peddie School's Mount-Burke Theater on Saturday, February 28.
		The Appalachia Waltz trio is scheduled to appear at New York's 92nd Street "Y" during the 2004-'05 season.
		It is difficult to say whether O'Connor has his greatest impact as composer or performer - with the Appalachia Waltz trio, which performs in Hightstown and Red Bank; with the jazz trio Hot Swing; and with a bluegrass trio where he joins Chris Thile, mandolin, and Bryan Sutton, guitar.

	BMG Music Service: CD Detail
		The follow-up album to the highly successful "Appalachia Waltz" collaboration, "Appalachian Journey" continues the combination of classical music with Appalachian, bluegrass, and American roots music in general.
		As stated by the artists, "Appalachia Waltz" explored the combination of the three artists' sounds put together, while "Journey" expands upon this theme, exploring the sound of the three artists as a singular group.
		At the same time, the trio displays some remarkable virtuosity (as would be expected from this group), burning through some fiery sets of triplets on otherwise slow instruments (the cello and bass, specifically), but keeping up with the violin while avoiding the easily hit distortion sounds that usually come from high speed, low frequency playing.

		For the new ballet, Mahdaviani is using six songs from the best-selling CD Appalachia Waltz by fiddler Mark O'Connor, bassist Edgar Meyer and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
		She feels that this music leads her into a bit of a story, or line of action, that departs from the plotless works she usually choreographs.

		Tokyo Waltz is an impressionistic documentary about a concert given at Suntory Hall in Tokyo on October 15, 1996 by Nashville fiddler, Mark O'Connor, classical bassist, Edgar Meyer, and cellist superstar, Yo Yo Ma.
		Most of the music in Tokyo Waltz is from the three musicians' popular Appalachia Waltz CD, which features folk-inspired music and new arrangements of American and Irish folk tunes.
		An example of this is shown during the Appalachia Waltz number where you see an ocean of colored umbrellas jostling each other in a downpour on a crowded Tokyo street.

		O'Connor's Appalachia Waltz was originally written for three instruments; with double stops and drones, it sounds perfectly self-sufficient.
		The O'Connor Appalachian Waltz is meant to be soulful (I think) and contains some nice drone-sounds but is in no way a waltz, - at least I couldn't catch a 3/4 rhythm.
		The "Cellist of Sarajevo" is a picture of Vase Miskina's playing in memorium of those killed in the Sarajevo bread queue bombing, but I can't imagine that Miskina played only dirges on his cello.

		Mark O’Connor is a virtuoso on both violin and fiddle—different names for the same instrument as applied respectively to classical and country music.
		On his latest album “Crossing Bridges,” his Appalachia Waltz Trio, also starring violist Carol Cook and cellist Natalie Haas, does exactly that in extending the classical-country crossings he created with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and double bassist Edgar Meyer on the 1996 “Appalachia Waltz” and 2000 “Appalachian Journey” albums.
		Most of the “Crossing Bridges” material, in fact, originated in those previous sets, with O’Connor’s younger associates bringing their own verve to the recording, which was taped live in concert last May at Clayton College and State University in Morrow, Georgia.
