A Carolina Theatre Presents event
An Appalachian Christmas, performed by Mark and Maggie O’Connor, features fresh bluegrass, folk and Americana arrangements of holiday classics, both vocal and instrumental. Their music captures the varied emotions of the season that will surely get the audience in the holiday spirit. Don’t miss this one-night-only concert featuring Mark’s multi-instrumental experience and Maggie’s exquisite vocals, mixing a perfect blend of virtuosic fiddling and musical warmth.
Mark O’Connor has won three Grammys, seven CMA awards as well as several national fiddle, guitar and mandolin champion titles.
Also a Grammy Award winner with a unique background in both traditional classical violin training, Maggie O’Connor performs in concert halls throughout the U.S. and beyond.
Together they have appeared as guest soloists with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, the Santa Rosa Symphony, and many other symphony orchestras performing Mark’s composition “Strings and Threads Suite.” In 2024, Mark and Maggie released their vocal album of mostly O’Connor original songs.
“Mark is a supreme master at what he does. Between thought and execution there are no impediments, zero.” – Yo-Yo Ma
“The O’Connors engaged in a rousing, flirty, high-energy back and forth (she in jazzy riffs and he in a more bluesy vein)…Great fun!” – WTTW Chicago
“Last night was the best- gorgeous music, astonishing virtuosity, and all filled with joy and love- as only you can do- THANK YOU!!!” – William Ransom, Artistic Director of Amelia Island Chamber Music
Our CT Presents ’25-’26 season is sponsored in part by Piedmont Natural Gas.
