The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight at SETU Arena (Photos)

A collective of classical musicians breathing beautifully dark energy into legendary Rock & Metal covers. The SETU Arena, Waterford gets ROCKED by The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight. Bathed in a sea of candles, skeletal players with rhinestone masks effortlessly switch between sublime melodies & powerful walls of sound. Crooked lurching towers, floating lanterns & giant headbanging puppets set the stage for an otherworldly musical experience and that's just the stage presents! On Saturday night The Rock Orchestra hit the SETU Arena stage, 14 classical musicians unleashed AC/DC, System of a Down, The Cranberries, Rage Against the Machine, Evanescence, My Chemical Romance, No Doubt, Guns N Roses, Papa Roach, Metallica and more in a blaze of classical/rock fusion in a sea of coloured LED lighting. The classical instrumental covers were interspersed with solos by the outstanding Erin Fox plus duets with Fox and Sky Murphy which by the end of the night had the packed venue on their feet shouting for more!
