Bar & bat mitzvah
violinist in New York
A celebration that spans three generations deserves music that reaches all of them: one artist, a glowing transparent violin, from the cocktail hour to the last dance.
A b'nai mitzvah is one of the hardest rooms in live music, and one of the most rewarding: grandparents at the tables, teenagers by the dance floor, and a family in between that wants every one of them included. Sadie has played these celebrations across New York, and the act was practically designed for them — behind the glowing violin stand thirty years of playing, begun at age three in a Paris conservatory near the Eiffel Tower.
The arc bends to your run-of-show. Cocktail hour and dinner often belong to the classical violin — standards, film scores, the pieces the adults lean over to ask about. The traditions are honored properly: the pieces your family wants, the hora included, learned and played live with the energy the circle deserves. And when the party starts, the transparent electric violin glows to life over the DJ's set — the moment every teenager's phone comes out.
Logistics stay simple for your planner and your venue: a clear technical rider makes her plug-and-play with any sound system — hotel ballroom, social hall or loft — and she brings her own concert-grade rig where there is none. One artist, one point of contact, the whole celebration.

Mitzvah FAQHas she played bar and bat mitzvahs before?
Yes — b'nai mitzvah celebrations are part of her New York calendar. One artist covers the arc from cocktail hour to the party, with the sound scaled to each moment.
Can she play the traditional pieces — the hora included?
Yes. Requests are the point: the traditional pieces your family wants are learned and played live, alongside everything else the program is built from — classical, film scores, pop, electro.
Can she perform with our DJ and MC?
Yes, and it is one of her signature formats: the glowing violin over the DJ's set for the party, live and loud where the evening asks for it. Her own network — DJ, drums, saxophone — can also be assembled to your event.
Will it land with a room of teenagers and grandparents at once?
That is exactly what the act is built for: a violin you can see through, glowing through the dark, and a couture dress of light. The teenagers film the light; the grandparents hear the thirty years of training behind it.
