Reception
The Orange County Register said of her sold out performance at the City National Grove of Anaheim "Not only did Stirling bow away with flawless precision, whether on a classical model or a modern electric version, she also moved like Jagger and sometimes joined two dancers in choreographed routines while fluidly continuing to play."{{cite news|last1=Robert|first1=Kinsler|title=Violin star Lindsey Stirling impresses in Anaheim|url=http://www.ocregister.com/soundcheck/stirling-614414-set-vegas.html|accessdate=June 4, 2014|publisher=Orange County Register|date=May 15, 2014}} while Niagara Frontier Publications commented "Dancing violinist Lindsey Stirling is to music what Steve Jobs was to computers."{{cite news|last1=Simpson|first1=Lee|title=Lindsey Stirling brings historic performance to Artpark June 12|url=http://www.wnypapers.com/news/article/featured/2014/05/28/116301/lindsey-stirling-brings-historic-performance-to-artpark-june-12|accessdate=June 4, 2014|publisher=Niagara Frontier Publications|date=May 28, 2014}}{{cite news|last1=Varga|first1=George|title=Lindsey Stirling bows way to the top|url=http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/May/13/lindsey-stirling-interview/|publisher=UT San Diego|date=May 13, 2014}} In the web page HrTicket.com acclaimed Stirling's performance writing on an article: " You've seen violinists.
