Directed lighting for Mark O'Connor & Friends annual An Appalachian Christmas tour concert at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall "Our annual Mark O'Connor concert was made significantly better this year thanks to Joshua jumping into the breech last minute to fix the stage lighting. Given the amount of time he had to work with the artists and production crew, the overall effect was more than adequate, it was classy - a clear improvement from last year. Lighting effects and transitions are one of those things that can be intrusive or subtle - the most successful of which impact the emotions around a performance without interfering with the core content. I hope we can continue to work together to make this important cultural event even better in the future. He's a real pro with a low-key approach that fosters confidence in those reliant on him and working around him. " -Jack Allen, President & CEO, All Classical Portland
