Mark O'Connor & The Appalachia Waltz Trio	special surprise guest Tommy Emmanuel
MARK O’CONNOR returns to the WoodSongs stage for a Special Event Broadcast where he’ll be the sole artist for the broadcast. Mark is a multi-Grammy-winning violinist and composer who is widely recognized as one of the most gifted contemporary composers in America, and one of the brightest talents of his generation. He's studied and recorded with some of the 20th Century's greatest musicians, including Stephane Grappeli, Benny Thomasson, and Yo Yo Ma. Along the way, between these many marvelous musical extremes, Mark absorbed knowledge and influence from the multitude of musical styles and genres he studied. Now he has melded and shaped these influences into a new American Classical music, and is perpetuating his vision of an American School of string playing. His latest CD, released on OMAC Records is a journey into the heart of America and contains his String Quartets No.'s 2 & 3. Like all of O'Connor's work, each piece takes deep inspiration from the landscape and traditions of America to produce music that is both familiar and original. Mark will be performing on the show with his Appalachia Waltz trio featuring Mike Block on Cello and Gillian Gallagher on Viola. The trio will also perform two pieces with the Verdi Quartet featuring students from the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.	Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia's most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans almost five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this "fingerpicker" style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans.
