A Brief History of Rocktopia

Rocktopia was co-created by Rob Evan of Trans-Siberian Orchestra and impressive maestro Randall Craig Fischer. Both founders were passionate about Classical music and had a background in the genre and technique, but they both also adored classic rock. Ballads and themes that were connected to their youth from musical greats such as Queen, Pink Floyd, Styx, and The Who were also major influencers of their art, and they set out to find a hybrid of the two. By creating a perfect mix, the well-known Classical melodies would still appeal to the die-hard devotees, but the addition of the rock lyrics and songs would allure a younger crowd of passionate fans. With that, Rocktopia was born, along with a new era of music. The Rocktopia tour is proud to have six of the best vocalists in the word, five prime rock musicians, and tours with local musicians and symphonies across North America. A night spent at a Rocktopia performance is full of stunningly beautiful Classical melodies and the ballads and anthems of classic rock.
