About: “The greatest rock-and-roll violinist of a generation” — Music Makers
Back by popular demand, Blue Violin returns to Minnesota with a one-night-only Candlelight New Year’s Extravaganza — a dazzling concert event at the Ames Center that fuses breathtaking music, glowing candlelight, and the thrill of stepping into 2026.
Often described as “Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.
Fresh off acclaimed tours across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the boundary between classical virtuosity and rock energy. Following last year’s hugely successful holiday tour — which played to packed houses and sold-out nights — this is your chance to experience the magic live in Burnsville.
