“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
