Big sound. No rules. That’s the Renegade Orchestra.

Featuring the internationally acclaimed musicians of Dirty Cello, this Bay Area ensemble tears up the traditional orchestra format and rebuilds it as something louder, bolder, and completely unforgettable.

Led by guitarist and conductor Jason Eckl, the Renegade Orchestra blends classical virtuosity with the raw energy of a rock band, where rock anthems, cinematic scores, folk favorites, and orchestral power collide in one electrifying performance.

Soaring strings, driving rhythms, and fearless musicianship create a live experience that feels more like a high-voltage concert than a seated symphony.

Where orchestral power plugs into the wall and turns all the way up.
