Electric violinist · New York

The electric violinist New York hasn't seen before

Most electric violinists bring a colored instrument and a backing track. She brings an instrument made of light, and her own concert-grade sound.

What "electric" means here.

Her violin is a custom commission you can see through: a transparent body carrying eight embedded microphones, so every nuance is captured at the source and amplified with nothing lost. In the dark it glows, blue-violet or warm gold, and for evening shows she pairs it with a couture dress woven with light that shifts color with the music.

Behind the spectacle sits the part planners care about: sound that's handled. A clear technical rider plugs her violin into any house system. For a SoHo loft, a backyard in Westchester or anywhere without one, she brings and runs her own professional sound.

The repertoire runs from Bach to film scores to pop and electro, designed with you for each event: weddings, product launches, galas and private parties across New York City, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Electric violin for weddings For corporate events

Where the show plays.

Formats

Wedding receptions

The first dance played live around the couple, then the floor: the moment the electric show was made for. The glowing violin over your DJ's set, or solo with her own sound.

Corporate reveals

A headline moment for a launch, ambient electric sets for the reception, your brand's soundtrack if you have one — timed to the run-of-show your production team writes.

Private parties

A milestone birthday on a rooftop, an anniversary that deserves more than a playlist: the same show, scaled to a terrace and a guest list of forty.

With DJ & ensemble

Her hand-picked New York network — DJ, drums, saxophone, sound engineer — assembled to your event, one point of contact. The energy of a band, the elegance of one artist.

Electric, answered.

Questions

Electric violinist or string quartet — which fits our event?

Different tools. A quartet is four chairs, acoustic volume, one repertoire. The electric violin is one artist whose sound scales from ceremony-soft to dance floor, with a program that runs Bach to electro — and one point of contact instead of four.

Can she perform with our DJ or band?

Yes. Violin over a DJ set is one of her signature formats, and her hand-picked New York network — DJ, drums, saxophone, sound engineer — can be assembled to your event with a single point of contact.

Does electric mean loud?

It means controlled. The technical rider sets levels with your venue before doors open; the same instrument plays under dinner conversation and over a full dance floor, and never fights the room.

Can one evening have both electric and classical?

Yes, and it is often the best design: the classical violin for ceremony and dinner, the transparent electric violin and the dress of light when the evening turns to the show. Both travel with her.
