With sold out shows throughout Europe and North America in 2024 the Blue Violin has also performed at the Edinburgh and Edmonton Fringe festivals and will be recording and touring in 2025 with GRAMMY nominated and GMA Dove award winning artists, Sanctus Real.
This year’s performance will feature a mesmerizing repertoire, including a reimagining of classic rock favorites such as "Kashmir", "Footloose", and "Thunderstruck"
