SUMMARY:Road to Appalachia Featuring Mark & Maggie O'Connor
DESCRIPTION:About the Concert\n\n\n\nGRAMMY Award-winning violinists Mark O’Connor and Maggie O’Connor return to Santa Rosa with music that bridges concert hall tradition and the roots of American sound. Their works Song of the Liberty Bell and Strings & Threads Suite blend classical form with folk melodies and virtuosic fiddling\, creating a vibrant\, living expression of American music. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of the program is Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring\, a landmark of the American repertoire. Premiered in 1944 for Martha Graham\, the score captures a sense of optimism and renewal\, culminating in the beloved Shaker tune “Simple Gifts.” \n\n\n\nWoven throughout the concert are two striking works by Gabriela Lena Frank Elegía Andina and Escaramuza—which draw on Latin American influences to expand and enrich the idea of what “American” music can be. \n\n\n\nFrom Appalachian landscapes to Andean echoes\, this program traces a musical journey shaped by tradition\, migration\, and reinvention—an evolving portrait of a nation in sound. \n\n\n\nConcert Conversations with Francesco Lecce-Chong\n\n\n\nConcert Conversations are general seating and free to Classical Series concert ticket holders.
