It’s not your typical violin concerto. Mark O’Connor’s Fiddle Concerto takes the energy of American fiddling—bluegrass, swing, even a little jazz—and puts it center stage in a full orchestral setting. It’s bold, joyful, and completely original.

Hear how one of America’s great fiddlers reimagined the concerto, tonight on 91.1, 107.5 and our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's program director. She also hosts Sunday Spotlight and produces Sunday Baroque.
