About this Event

An Immersive Candlelit Journey Through Iconic Rock Anthems

“Rock and roll meets classical music in a gorgeously crafted hour of music.”

Step into a world lit by flickering candlelight — 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 the stages from SOLD OUT Shows at the Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall, and now brings his world tour to Australia, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S.

Often described as “Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.

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.

In this electrifying solo candlelight concert, Blue Violin transforms classic rock into cinematic soundscapes using live looping, searing violin solos, and explosive arrangements. The result: a visceral, immersive performance that shatters expectations and stirs the soul.

Setlist includes iconic anthems like:

  • “Thunderstruck” – AC/DC
  • “Free Bird” – Lynyrd Skynyrd
  • “Kashmir” – Led Zeppelin
  • “Stairway to Heaven”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Hallelujah”, and more

Critics call him “the best rock and roll violinist of a generation” and “electrifying” — and audiences from sold out shows around the globe agree. With a sound as bold as the flames surrounding him, Blue Violin invites you to experience a night where rock meets ritual, and violin meets firelight.
