COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Dixon’s Violin brings his HUMANKINDness tour on Saturday, September 6th at Tibbits Opera House in Coldwater. 7 PM performance. 6:00 PM doors.
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. The visionary violinist grew up in Davison, graduated from the University of Michigan-Flint, where he was the assistant concertmaster of the University of Michigan-Flint Symphony. Dixon is also the former assistant concertmaster of the Flint Youth Symphony, which is one of only two youth orchestras in the U.S. invited to perform in Munich, Germany.
Dixon had been playing classical music all his life, but in 2005 everything changed. A trip to the Burning Man festival challenged him to improvise and gave a perfect opportunity to create his own music for the first time.
