The Rock Orchestra By Candlelight are a band of classical musicians from the United Kingdom who transform rock and metal songs into dark symphonies. The group of 14 musicians regularly performs concerts bathed in an ethereal candlelit glow as they turn songs by AC/DC, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Linkin Park and more into swirling, dark rhapsodies that bridge the chasm between metal, hard rock and classical music. In 2024, The Rock Orchestra will embark on a tour of their native U.K. as well as Europe and the U.S. to present their thrilling new 90-minute show.

If you haven’t seen The Rock Orchestra By Candlelight you are missing out! I swear, it was one of the best things I have ever seen! Great set, incredible musicians and singers, fabulous costumes, wonderful renditions of some favorite songs by well-known artists. This experience takes you to another place. You aren’t watching, you are experiencing. I will definitely see them again if they are near my area, and YOU should, too! ROBC, thank-you!
Awesome experience. Amazingly talented musicians that didn't miss a beat and every song sounded fantastic
The live performance videos don't do them justice. The first couple songs were weak. But they killed it after that. The chic that was sang killed
That was hands-down one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen! Anytime the show comes to my area I will go!! It flowed so perfectly, and gave a new life to all these songs that I love, definitely a must experience for any rock fan!!
If you like Rock with a side of classical, this show is made for you. Awesome stage show, very talented musicians, and a great light show make this a Las Vegas style show. If I get a chance, to see it again, I'm going.
Saw The Rock Orchestra last night in Peoria, Illinois. Their energy was amazing, the singers were fantastic, and overall the show was extremely entertaining. This is the best show I have been to in quite some time and I would absolutely go again!
The Rock Orchestra was an awesome experience! The music was great and the entertainment from the stage presentation to all of the performers was phenomenal! I would definitely see them again if they ever return to our area.
We throughly enjoyed the Rock Orchestra! They were fabulous! Highly recommend seeing them....again and again!
This was an amazing show. Kept your eyes the entire time. A great mix of songs for everyone.
I don't know about (collective) you, but I love hearing great music reinterpreted and reimagined. It somehow gives it new life and makes you appreciate it all over again. That's exactly the experience that the Rock Orchestra gives. Some of my favorite songs with a new perspective. I loved it! If they come anywhere near you, go see them for a great experience.
The Rock Orchestra is an outstanding group of musicians! Their versions of favorite classic rock and metal songs are absolutely incredible and each player adds their own unique personality to their parts! The vocalists were amazing and being a vocalist myself, I particularly enjoyed the female vocalist's tone, clarity and range! Outstanding! The venue (Coronado Theater) was the perfect setting for the candlelit stage effects! Hope they come back this way again next year!
Great performances, absolutely worth it making a trip to downtown Chicago. Will go again.
