Classic Rock... with a little Bach!
Classical Blast blurs musical lines, melding well known classical music into classic rock hits or rocking music by Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and composers from other centuries, sometimes adding original lyrics or introducing symphonic elements into our own music.
From Bach to classic rock to metal and more, you’ll find our approach to music a refreshing change.
It’s the past, present & future brought together in perfect harmony!
While the band is best known for their classical-rock mashups, we perform 3 distinctly unique classic rock shows throughout the year, combining a broad spectrum of music —
from classical to world to Christmas — with rock music to create exciting themed concerts.
