From bluegrass watering holes to Carnegie Hall! Mark O’Connor is both a classical violinist and a world-class fiddler, depending on who you ask. This Saturday on Second Inversion, we’ll hear him perform his own violin concerto modeled after Vivaldi’s famous Four Seasons—but with an Americana twist. Plus: a dream jam session in the Appalachian Mountains.

Pour yourself some sweet tea and settle in as we celebrate the warmth and nostalgia of American folk music this Labor Day weekend.

To listen, tune in to Classical KING on Saturday, August 30 at 9pm PT.
