Baldassarre Rock Orchestra (2024 Highlight Reel)

Hello YouTube family! 🎸✨

It's been a long time since we rocked & rolled! Many of you have asked why I haven't posted any "Professor of Classic Rock" YouTube videos. The simple answer is... "There is only one of me!" 😅

I loved doing music breakdowns for my YouTube fans, but I also love writing and performing live. The reality is, I can't do all three things at once. So, a year ago, I decided to focus on writing and putting together a new live show. 🎶

I'm finishing up a new album called "Deep Grooves" with Jacob Dupre and Nick D'Virgilio. Remember them from my short-lived "Soul of Zeppelin" project? We've created a killer album of riff & groove-heavy music deeply rooted in the style of 70's funk, soul, and rock. Much of the inspiration came from the episodes I did for my channel. More about this album will be forthcoming. 🎸🕺

What's taken the lion's share of my time is putting together my live show, The Baldassarre Rock Orchestra. This 70’s classic rock symphonic circus unites the power of rock and classical music in a spectacle of sound, lights, and entertainment! The 9-piece rock orchestra features killer musicians, including the world-renowned string quartet OPUS 216 and Mark Boals on lead vocals (You might remember Mark from my PROG band Syzygy). 🎻🎤

The Baldassarre Rock Orchestra plays a mix of 70's classic rock with symphonic arrangements and original classical and rock music I've written. The show is a wildly diverse and flowing production. 🎶🌟

All of this to say... HERE IS OUR OFFICIAL HIGHLIGHT VIDEO that gives you a glimpse of the Baldassarre Rock Orchestra live! We hope you like it! 🎥🤘

The shows are going great and have been a lot of fun. It's also been a ton of work to take this show on the road, as we have 11 performers plus 8 crew/production staff! But it's worth every calorie of energy! 🚐🔥

If you have a chance to read this description, please like, subscribe, and comment on this video! 👍📲💬

BTW... I will return to the channel with new episodes at some point, but I'm having a lot of fun putting into practice what I've been showing all of you! 🤗🎸

Peace & Love,
Carl ✌️❤️
