Terry Glenny brings a dazzling new concept to the concert stage - a rock violinist extraordinaire performs classic rock favorites but with a twist – his 5-String Electric Violin is accompanied by full symphony orchestra and blazing rhythm section! The already great Classic Rock songs are arranged by Terry Glenny to create grand and exhilarating new musical vistas for these masterworks of the late 60’s and early 70’s.

A classical violinist turned outlaw, he turns his custom-made electric five-string violin into an instrument of wild abandon creating fantastic, exotic sounds. He has a high energy, captivating performance that has even lead to jumping off the stage into the audience! Glenny's inventive arrangements of Classic Rock songs such as Jimmy Hendrix's Purple Haze, The Moody Blues’ Nights In White Satin and Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild have brought audiences to their feet chanting for more!

This is the TERRY GLENNY SYMPHONIC ROCK EXPERIENCE!

(Please turn off the music in the main menu...)

Glenny is a versatile composer, arranger and producer as well as preeminent Electric Violinist and continues to create arrangements for electric violin, symphony orchestra and rhythm section of some of the most beloved classics from the Age of Rock and Roll.

Other arrangements in his repertoire include Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple’s Hush, Sunshine Of Your Love and Badge by Cream, White Bird by It’s A Beautiful Day (which is a duet with Solo Cello) and Ina-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly; Amazing Journey (from Tommy) by The Who, plus an original composition entitled Pillars Of Olympus which has been a hit at every performance.

Audience participation is encouraged and they always delight in singing along with a charming full orchestra arrangement of Yellow Submarine by the Beatles.

Among the musical surprises the listener may encounter, this one has provoked a number of inquiries: Why the odd quote of the opening to Mozart 4th Violin Concerto in the middle of Purple Haze? On several occasions, Terry has been a soloist with the Orange County Symphony including a performance of Mozart's 4th Violin Concerto the month before his premiere with them of the Symphonic Rock Experience. This explains the inside joke with orchestra members and the revisiting audience by quoting the opening of the 4th Mozart Concerto in the middle of Purple Haze!

Terry has exhibited tremendous musical diversity since his high school days when he soloed with orchestra playing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto while concurrently playing Johnny Winter and Rolling Stones songs in a blues rock band.

He has since played with such rock notables including Mike Pinera (Iron Butterfly, Blues Image), Matt Sorum (Guns & Roses), Abe Laboriel, Alex Acuna, Don Preston, John Cale, Tony Franklin (The Firm), Chris North (Ambrosia), and Bobby Kimball (Toto).
