Back by popular demand, Blue Violin’s Candlelight Christmas Tour returns for its third spectacular year — bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever before.

Often described as “Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling,” Blue Violin delivers fiery virtuosity and cinematic flair in every performance.
Fresh from acclaimed tours across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Blue Violin has been earning international accolades for genre-bending performances that blur the line between classical virtuosity and rock energy.

With last year’s holiday tour playing to packed houses and sold-out nights, this year’s Candlelight Christmas is set to be the most unforgettable yet.

This one-of-a-kind holiday concert experience blends the beauty of traditional carols with high-octane rock anthems, cinematic classical reimaginings, and heartwarming favorites — all brought to life in glowing candlelight, with a dazzling stage set and immersive light show.

✨ 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.

Whether you’re creating a new holiday tradition or returning for another season, the Candlelight Christmas Tour is more than a concert — it’s a celebration.
