Cullen Theater, Wortham Theater Center

With five Grammy Awards between them, two unique virtuosos join forces for a remarkably appealing musical evening. Sharon Isbin performs guitar solos by Albeniz, Tarréga, Mangoré, as well as the Joan Baez Suite, reimagining songs associated with the folk legend. The genre-defying violinist Mark O’Connor, versed in folk, classical and jazz, performs original solos. Isbin and O’Connor team up for O’Connor’s Appalachia Waltz and the Strings and Threads Suite.

“The pre-eminent guitarist of our time.”-- Boston Magazine

“A child prodigy turned adult virtuoso, [Mark O’Connor] is an innovator in both performance and composition, bridging the gap between country and classical.”– The Los Angeles Times
