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.

Rach & Roll with Lake Shore Symphony Orchestra
We’ve often talked about how cool it would be to perform
our classical-rock mashups with an orchestra. Turns out Russell Vinick, music director for the Lake Shore Symphony Orchestra in Chicago had the same thought! He planned for his north shore community orchestra to perform Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No 2 and thought, why not add some rock music to the show? And who better to call than Classical Blast to help? The concert took place at DePaul University’s Concert Hall in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. We performed music from our signature “Classic Rock, with a Little Bach” show and the orchestra performed extended versions of the classical pieces we
mash with classic rock music. You can see a segment of
our performance on YouTube.
