Back by popular demand, Blue Violin’s Candlelight Christmas Tour returns for its third spectacular year — bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever before.
Often described as “Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.
Special Guest: Maddie Poppe (American Idol Winner)
This year, the tour shines even brighter with the addition of Maddie Poppe, Season 16 American Idol winner. With her soulful voice and heartfelt artistry, Maddie joins Blue Violin to bring a new dimension of magic, blending powerful vocals with virtuosic strings in unforgettable holiday moments.
Fresh from acclaimed tours across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the line between classical virtuosity and rock energy. With last year’s holiday tour playing to packed houses and sold-out nights, this year’s Candlelight Christmas is set to be the most unforgettable yet.
This one-of-a-kind holiday concert experience blends the beauty of traditional carols with high-octane rock anthems, cinematic classical reimaginings, and heartwarming favorites — all brought to life in glowing candlelight, with a dazzling stage set and immersive light show.
