On Saturday October 4th we had the immense honor of hosting an unforgettable Rock Violin Concert, headlined by none other than Pavel Sporcl, one of the world’s most celebrated violinists. Performing on his iconic blue violin, Pavel delivered a breathtaking fusion of classical brilliance and rock energy that had the entire room captivated.
The Blue Violin Man and the most viral Czech classical artist Pavel Sporcl, in this project honored with a Gold Record (Universal Music), took the stage as a rock violinist. Ballad lovers were moved by a powerful rendition of “What Was I Made For?”, the Oscar-winning hit by Billie Eilish… reimagine in a stunning arrangement by Sporcl that touch the hearts of fans across all genres. Nobody sat still when they presented classic rock super hits as Kashmir & Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin, Another brick in the wall by Pink Floyd, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and many more. As a special highlight of the evening, Sporcl performed two beautiful ballads that touched the hearts of everyone in the audience - one from the legendary Karel Gott, and another from the beloved Vaso Patejdl. With his unmistakable sound and deep emotional expression, Pavel brought a fresh voice to these timeless songs, paying tribute to two icons of Czech and Slovak music. Sporcl also presented his own original hits, Boundless and Surprise, completing a one-of-a-kind repertoire.
Joining him on stage was Brian Charette, the Grammy-nominated Hammond organ virtuoso, whose masterful playing added deep, soulful layers to the performance; Otto Hejnic, drums & band leader - a true master of rhythm and the engine behind the sound; Sebastian Skalitzky Sorrosa - from lyrical melodies to electrifying runs, his guitar playing added both edge and elegance to the night and Ian Kodet, the bassist - anchoring the music with smooth, powerful lines that kept everything grounded.
With nearly 120 guests in attendance, the atmosphere was electric from the first note to the last - and by the end of the night, the crowd rose in a full standing ovation, a powerful tribute to the unforgettable performance.
Guests also enjoyed a complimentary dinner, making the evening a complete sensory experience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special night. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
