One Man Symphony by Fiddler on the Rock

About this event

Can a Single Violin Heal the Soul? Discover Tyler Carson’s “One Man Symphony” in Sedona on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival. “One Man Symphony by Fiddler on the Rock” is a one-of-a-kind violin concert featuring symphony soloist and multi-genre looper violinist, Tyler Carson, Fiddler on the Rock. The concert features Tyler as a ‘one man symphony’ of sound, thanks to the special effects and live recorded ‘looping’ that he utilizes to build layers of violin as rhythm, percussion and interweaving melodies as “Living Music”. Along with his original music and often spontaneous live creations that flow from the energy of the audience and moment, you may hear songs like ‘All Along the Watchtower’ (Jimi Hendrix), ‘Hallelujah’ (Leonard Cohen), and amazing mashups of popular songs that you have to hear to believe! Every moment is original, inspirational heart centered music to sweep you away in musical wonder. When doctors said he’d never speak again Tyler Carson (Fiddler on the Rock) trusted in faith that recovery was possible. Traveling the world while sharing joy playing the violin, his speech returned and Tyler discovered a music unlike any other through his fiddle, his loop pedal and his audience united as one. He calls it “Living Music”. ‘One Man Symphony’ is the inspirational concert experience that brought CBS Mornings to Sedona to create a feature piece on Tyler as Fiddler on the Rock. The debut national airing led to an encore airing in “best of the year” episode where he was featured alongside Dolly Parton. Through the evening you will experience the journey that took him from monthly botox injections in his throat, to lessons with Josh Groban’s singing coach and from India to A-list celebrity house concerts; altogether, a journey illuminating illness as an opportunity instead of an unending struggle. Uplifting, inspiring and healing,’One Man Symphony’ will wrap you in the hopeful…
