The Baldassarre Rock Orchestra is a magical world where the power of rock and classical music unites in a spectacle of sound, lights, and symphonic grandeur!
Our 9-piece rock orchestra is led by the award-winning guitarist and composer Carl Baldassarre and his band along with the world-renown string quartet OPUS 216. The show is a spectacle where classic rock and classical music unite, beckoning music enthusiasts for an unparalleled live experience with its fusion of 1970s and 1870s aesthetics both musically and visually.
Baldassarre’s repertoire spans their diverse discography of original rock and classical music and interpretations of classic rock songs by Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Deep Purple, Stevie Wonder and more. Most recently the rock orchestra has been performing original music from Baldassarre’s 2024 Grammy contending album, Grand Boulevard which has received Album of the Year and Rock Song of the Year consideration. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Guitar World magazine described Grand Boulevard as “…a sprawling album full of ingenuity.”
