Mark O'Connor Fiddle Camp

Each year in Nashville and San Diego, a wondrous, magical, musical event takes place. It is an event that creates lasting bonds and friendships, as well as music. For five days in June, fiddle players from all over the world, old and young, novice and experienced gather for the Mark O'Connor Fiddle Camp.

Enjoy five full days of fiddle classes, seminars, demonstrations and concerts. Classes are given by Grammy winner Mark O'Connor and a stellar faculty of guest instructors. While participation is subject to change due to scheduling and availability, faculty in past years has included Darol Anger, Randy Elmore, Natalie MacMaster, Matt Glaser, Buddy Spicher, Mark Wood and Rachel Barton.

Sessions are designed to accommodate players from the ages of 8 and up and of all achievement levels. From beginners (young and old) to professional musicians from symphonies, bands and chamber orchestras, the programs offer activities and instruction appropriate for a wide range of players. Instruction includes in-depth explorations of fiddle styles, including classical, jazz/swing, Texas, Bluegrass and Celtic and others. (from www.markoconnor.com)
