Irish pianist John O’Conor has performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony, l’Orchestre National de France, the NHK Orchestra in Japan and the Cleveland, San Francisco, Dallas, Montreal, and Detroit Symphonies. He has given concerts in the world’s most famous halls, including Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, the Wigmore Hall and South Bank Centre in London, the Musikverein in Vienna, the Dvořák Hall in Prague, and the Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo. He enjoys performing chamber music with many ensembles such as the Cleveland, Tokyo, Vanbrugh, Vermeer, Takacs, Vogler, and Ying Quartets. For his services to music he has been awarded Honorary Doctorates by the National University of Ireland and by Trinity College Dublin, the title “Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the French Government, and the “Ehrenkreuz für Wissenschaft und Kunst” by the Austrian Government.
Heralded for their “strikingly beautiful, luminescent” sound (The New York Times), the Audubon Quartet has won acclaim throughout the world for over 30 years. Founded in 1974, the ensemble quickly achieved international recognition by winning top prizes in competitions in France, Brazil, and England. The Quartet regularly performs in the major concert halls throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. They were the first American quartet ever to perform a concert tour in the People's Republic of China. Both Mr. O’Conor and the Audubon Quartet are artists in residence at Shenandoah Conservatory of Music in Winchester, Virginia.
Parking is on-street on Massachusetts and Western Avenues and in the parking lot of Westmoreland Congregational UCC church.
