New Millennium Chamber Orchestra: "Outside the Lines" featuring Colyn Fischer in Mark O'Connor's "The Fiddle Concerto"
Join The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra for Outside the Lines: Not the Usual Repertoire as fiddle champion Colyn Fischer play'sMark O'Connor's phenomenal crossover hit "The Fiddle Concerto" for violin and orchestra. This work has received more performances than any violin concerto written in the last 50 years. Drawing on classical influences and fiddling traditions from the U.S. and abroad, this hallmark piece has thrilled audiences all over the world since its premiere in 1992.

NMCO concertmaster Colyn Fischer has been playing violin since the age of three and has been Scottish fiddling since the age of five. He holds a Bachelor of Music Performance in Violin from Wheaton College and has recorded in genres ranging from classical to rock, jazz, and Scottish. He has performed professionally with numerous orchestras in the Bay Area, Chicago and Pittsburgh areas.  In 2005 and again in 2006, he won the title of U.S. Scottish Fiddle Champion. Colyn and pianist Shauna Pickett-Gordon appear in concert as the "Peat Fire Flame duo.

Also on the program is NMCO conductor James Richard Friemans When September Ends: Concert Variations on a Theme of Billy Joe Armstrong, the celebrated songwriter, guitarist, singer and driving force behind the Bay Areas legendary band Green Day for more than twenty years. In addition to this exciting premiere, jazz artist Don Pender plays his haunting ballad Something to Live For in an arrangement for strings, harp and baritone sax.  The concert is rounded out by a  tribute to Prince, truly one of the great musical geniuses of our time.
