Rob Landes

VIRTUOSO VIOLINIST & YOUTUBE/TIKTOK STAR

Rob Landes presents “Viral Virtuoso”: a high-energy, genre-bending theater show from one of the internet's most beloved violin creators.

With over 1 billion views across social media, Rob Landes is one of the most followed violinists in the world. A classically trained Carnegie Hall performer turned viral content creator, Landes blends classical virtuosity, live looping, and humor to entertain audiences worldwide.

A classically trained violinist from age 3, Rob performs thrilling, virtuosic arrangements rarely attempted by other violinists on stage, such as the Paganini-style medley of “Owner of a Lonely Heart” and “Smooth Criminal” in the video below.

Rob is also known for his expert use of a loop pedal, which allows him to record and playback multiple parts immediately, whether on rock hits like “Thunderstruck” or gorgeous classical music like “Canon in D.”

Rob’s shows also incorporate humorous and inspiring stories about his viral stardom, such as the time he rented a hot air balloon for a video shoot, only to discover afterward that the video didn’t show his actual violin playing, since the drone operator was afraid to “pop” the balloon while filming Rob!
