From ‘Thunderstruck’ to ‘Free Bird’ — an unforgettable night of strings and light.
An Immersive Candlelight Journey Through Iconic Rock Anthems
“Rock and roll meets classical music in a gorgeously crafted hour of music.”
Step into a world lit by over 1,000 flickering candles — where legendary rock anthems are reimagined by one violin, played with the intensity of a full band. This is not just a tribute show. This is Blue Violin — a genre-defying, conservatory-trained virtuoso who has lit up stages from Carnegie Hall to Singapore, and now brings his world tour to Australia, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S.
