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.

Kicking Off Summer!
We revved up the music for our signature show well before the first day of summer and what a reception from audiences in Lindenhurst, Villa Park and Fox Lake! While it was surprisingly cool on some of those nights, the music was hot, hot, hot as we combined Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and so many other composers with classic rock everyone knows. It’s classic rock with a little Bach! People always find it delightfully surprising. We introduced a spankin’ new “Rain Medley,” featuring Vivaldi’s “Summer” from his Four Seasons Violin Concertos. “Summer” implies the sounds of a summer rain storm, so we mashed it with “Here Comes the Rain Again” by Eurythmics and “I’m Only Happy When It Rains” by Garbage. You have to come to a show to hear it! There are plenty to choose from through September, so check upcoming summer SHOWS
Our first show of the season was a very special life celebration for National Cancer Survivor Day, featuring a concert at Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center, a support community that’s part of the Rush-Copley Medical Center. We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the summer season!
Above: What a way to start the season, with a celebration of LIVING! Scenes from National Cancer Survivor Day Concert at Waterford Place, a cancer patient support community in Aurora.
Above: Our first time in Fox Lake, and at their beautiful new lakefront park too. We had so much fun meeting everyone there! Even though it was a bit chilly, we're so grateful that so many of you stayed to the end. Hope to see you all again!
Above: Our THIRD time in Lindenhurst, and what a blast! Can't beat a great crowd, tacos, beer and bundt cakes! We especially love it when there's food trucks. There's nothing like dinner al fresco with music!
Above: Villa Park was especially fun. Not only was it a great crowd, we celebrated Lisle's (Stephanie's son) 8th birthday! Thanks to everyone that sang and helped make it a special celebration for him while mom was working!
