Dixon’s Violin @ The Playhouse at White Lake

You’ve never heard violin like this! 
Tickets:
$29 advance
$35 day of show
Children 12 and under $5

The world’s premier visionary violinist, Dixon’s life mission is to inspire people, and he has done so at over 1,000 concerts across North America, including giving five TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man and Electric Forest, plus radio, TV, and film appearances. A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.

Not your ordinary violinist, Fox 2 News
It’s quite an accomplishment for a man who possibly invented a new genre on his violin, City Pulse
