The multi-talented dancing violin player Lindsey Stirling brought her spectacular Duality tour to MGM Music Hall on 8/13. She wowed an all-ages crowd with a highly polished and choreographed presentation of her 7th studio album.
Longtime Lindsey Stirling touring partners Walk Off The Earth started the show with an opening set crammed full of creative covers and original songs, featuring an appearance from Stirling herself. When it came time for the main event, she quite literally elevated things to another level for her own performance. In addition to her signature fusion of high energy dance and violin instrumentals, Lindsey Stirling supplemented an already-impressive display with a troupe of dancers and a variety of aerial acrobatics. One would not be blamed for mistaking the concert for something straight out of Cirque du Soleil. Stirling seemingly effortlessly played her violin while dancing, spinning, upside down, suspended from wires, and running up and down stairs with a quite frankly enviable amount of stamina. She performed just about all of her newest album Duality, with a bit of some of her earliest in the mix. Although much of the show was a solo affair, Stirling called up fellow fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt from the crowd for a special guest appearance, and later she was accompanied by the vocal talent of Walk Off The Earth’s Sarah Blackwood. Given the physical demands of such a spectacle, the short-but-sweet evening unsurprisingly ended early, with Lindsey Stirling twirling her way to a reasonable 10 PM conclusion.
