✨ Guest vocalists and surprise musical collaborators🎤 Live choirs and symphony orchestras in select cities🎻 Blue Violin performing virtuosic, high-energy arrangements that blur the line between elegance and edge🎄 Holiday classics like Somewhere in my Memory, Carol of the Bells, and Holly Jolly Christmas — reinvented with power and soul⚡ Genre-bending takes on Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody, Interstellar, and more
From grand concert halls to intimate candlelit theaters, this is a concert that transforms every venue into a wonderland of sound and light.
