Karolina Protsenko transforms Queen’s famous anthem, Another One Bites The Dust, into an exhilarating violin performance that reimagines the rock classic into a classical masterpiece. In a dynamic outdoor setting, she plays each note precisely and with passion and shows that even the most significant rock hits can be gorgeously reinterpreted through her violin.
She brings so much energy to this performance. Ambling along with the beat, she finds the song’s defiant undercurrent but puts her graceful twist on it. Where the original’s deep, driving bassline threatens to shake a dance floor to its foundation, the translation is a husky melody that you can’t help but tap along to.

Onlookers stop in their tracks, bewitched by the surprise fusion of rock and classical. Karolina doesn’t merely play — she performs, bringing every moment to vibrant life. She is able to be honest and connect perfectly with the music and the audience, and that makes it an unforgettable experience.”
That same musical genius comes through in her violin cover of APT. by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. Another One Bites The Dust is brash and assertive, whereas APT. is softer and reflective. Karolina’s violin doubles the heartfelt lyrics and dreamy melody, striking a lovely contrast with the two performances.
