Dixon’s Violin will make his Ludington Area Center for the Arts (LACA) debut Saturday, Sept. 14 with a performance at 7 p.m.
Dixon, whose legal name is David James Hammond, is a musician and philosopher who never plays the same song twice and never asks for people to limit themselves to narrow categories.
You've never heard violin like this! The world's premier visionary violinist, Dixon's life mission is to inspire people - and he has done so at over 1,000 concerts across North America, including giving five TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man and Electric Forest, plus radio, TV and film appearances.
A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.
Tickets for the Sept. 14 performance are just $15 in advance or $20 at the door. A limited number of pre-sale tickets will be available for purchase prior to June 1 at a discounted rate of $10. Tickets can be purchased at LACA or online at www.ludingtonartscenter.org. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for attendees to enjoy a cash bar and take in the exhibits on display throughout LACA.
