Artist profile - MOC - Mark O'Connor

For those of you who don't know the dynamo, violin and fiddle virtuoso Mark O'Connor - take a look at this incredible website:

www.markoconnor.com

As a kid, I listened to this fiddler, who was only a few years older than me, and marveled at his career as he rocketed into the musical stratosphere.

Mark is currently finishing up a week at his fiddle camp in NY - the first year he's held his camp on the East coast. There are successful MOC fiddle camps at UCLA in California and in Nashville, Tennessee.

Mark recordings, music, teaching, blogging, twittering, facebooking, and myspacing are frequent and incredible. It's easy to be musical inspired by his works - young and old alike. Join his facebook page and you get an in depth look at an artists' life (a great exercise for our students??!!)

If you ever have a chance to see Mark play live, take it - he's a dynamic performer and a marvelous ambassador to non-musical people and young musicians.
Enjoy!
