Thunderstruck

A Classic Rock tribute

"The Greatest Rock and Roll Violinist of a Generation"

From ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ to ‘Free Bird’ an In-The-Round Candlelit Experience.

As part of an Australian tour including the Sydney Opera House, international violinist Blue Violin brings his candlelit rock concert to Melbourne for one night only (Feb 6 @ Collingwood Town Hall).

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

Step into a world of shimmering light, where legendary rock anthems are reborn through a single violin — played with the fire and 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.

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

Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the line between classical virtuosity and rock energy
