Femmes of Rock are bringing their electrifying all-female rock show to Artpark this July, and if you haven’t seen this group tear through classic rock anthems on electric violins and strings, you’re in for a genuine surprise. This isn’t your typical tribute night — it’s something else entirely.
About Femmes of Rock
Femmes of Rock is an all-female rock ensemble led by electric violinist Nina DiGregorio, a classically trained musician who has performed with Trans-Siberian Orchestra and other major touring productions. The group reimagines classic rock staples — from Led Zeppelin to AC/DC to The Who — through the lens of electric strings, creating a sound that is familiar yet completely fresh. The musicians are all classically trained players who bring serious technical chops to rock music, and the live show features choreography, lighting, and a high-energy stage presence that goes far beyond what you might expect from a string-based act. They’ve built a passionate touring following by converting audiences one jaw-dropping show at a time.
The Venue
Artpark in Lewiston is one of Western New York’s most beloved outdoor performance spaces, overlooking the Niagara River gorge. The amphitheater setting is stunning — part manicured park, part natural wonder — and it creates an atmosphere for summer concerts that is uniquely special. Artpark has been a fixture of the regional arts scene for decades, hosting everything from symphony performances to major rock tours. For a visually dynamic act like Femmes of Rock, the outdoor stage and natural backdrop will only amplify the experience.

I’ll be honest — I was skeptical the first time I heard the concept. Electric violins playing classic rock? Then I saw a clip and my skepticism evaporated in about thirty seconds. These musicians are phenomenal, the arrangements are inventive without losing what makes the original songs great, and the energy is through the roof. At Artpark on a summer evening with the gorge as a backdrop, this is going to be a memorable night. Bring the whole family — this is one of those shows that works for every age group. The Niagara gorge setting is going to add a visual dimension that matches the spectacle on stage.
