Estrella Violinist Yana Performs with Chocolate Starfish
14 July 2025
Yana had the incredible opportunity to perform as a guest violinist with Chocolate Starfish, one of Australia’s most iconic live rock bands of the 1990s. Known for their explosive energy and powerhouse vocals, Chocolate Starfish earned their place in Aussie music history with two Top 10 albums and six Top 50 singles — and continue to captivate audiences decades later. The band’s “Bat Out of Hell – With Strings Attached” tour was a sell-out success, combining the raw power of classic rock with the lush texture of live strings. Sharing the stage with such legendary performers was an unforgettable experience for Yana, bringing her classical and electric violin artistry into the world of Australian rock in spectacular fashion.
