Join us for a holiday celebration where passion resonates in every note.
Immerse yourself in the captivating melodies of award-winning classical crossover artist, the Blue Violin this Christmas for an all new show, as we present a candlelit night with over 500 candles that promises to be as unique as it is unforgettable. Join us for an intimate performance of both music and dance that blends the soulful voice of the violin with the songs of Christmas, creating an atmosphere of elegance, fascination, and mystique.
Former 1st violinist of the Boston String Quartet, Blue Violin performs original music and covers utilizing loops and sequences to convey a multitude of sounds through a single violin. Imagine the production of Lindsey Stirling with the virtuosity of 2CELLOS.
Described by the Boston Ballet as a “captivating violinist,” the Blue Violin has shared the stage with acclaimed artists like John Mayer, Paul Simon, Jennifer Holliday, the Turtle Island Quartet, Giorgia Fumanti, members of Celtic Woman and Riverdance, and even Sesame Street.
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 Blue Violin Christmas will feature a mesmerizing repertoire, including a reimagining of holiday favorites such as “The Little Drummer Boy”, “Jingle Bells”, and “Mary Did You Know”.
New in 2024, and by popular demand, the performance will also include uniquely bluegrass renditions of “Sleigh Ride”, “Nutcracker Suite”, and Coventry Carol.
Witness the transformation of iconic tunes like “Free Bird” and “Stairway to Heaven” through the unique lens of the Blue Violin, promising an evening filled with innovation and musical surprises.
As a special treat, experience music and magic by guest performers from the Blue Violin’s own family, joining him on stage.
Take part in an extraordinary night of music, where the Blue Violin takes center stage, weaving a tapestry of emotions that will linger in your hearts long after the last note has faded. Join us for A Blue Violin Candlelight Christmas – an experience that transcends the ordinary, leaving you with cherished memories of a night filled with love and musical brilliance.
It’s more fun with the whole family, and when you buy a family pass, we’ll give you an extra ticket for FREE!
The show will be one hour 30 minutes with no intermission. Children are encouraged to attend.
