Violinist Lindsey Stirling is thrilled to see her Christmas tour became a holiday tradition with her latest album 'Snow Waltz.' Here's when to see her
It's been five years since Lindsey Stirling started her own holiday tradition when she followed the release of her first Christmas album,"Warmer in the Winter," with a festive tour she built around those songs.
Stirling's second Christmas album,"Snow Waltz," hit the streets in mid-October and became the violinist's sixth consecutive release to top Billboard's classical music charts.There's a magical quality to Christmas songs for Stirling, who grew up in Gilbert and attended Mesquite High School. It made it more fun, Stirling says, to approach the material thinking,"Well, OK, let's listen to this and find the gap where we can make it fresh.""To be honest, a lot of my favorites were on my first Christmas album," she says."So when I was approaching this one, I was like, 'Gosh, I took my favorites already. What am I gonna do here?'"Then she started coming up with odd arrangements and that made it fun, even"Little Drummer Boy.
"And so I think it has a very different feel because of that. There's a little bit of a darker tone. It's not quite as jolly. Because my music generally, I wouldn't describe it as jolly." "He wasn't really conscious, and we didn't know if he could even hear us," Stirling says."But one of my sisters was like, 'Let's all tell memories of our favorite stories of Dad.'
