Gala violinist
for New York
Charity galas and award evenings: classical restraint while the room dines and gives, and a glowing transparent violin when the program calls for a headline.
Elegant at dinner. A headline at the reveal.
A gala is a run-of-show wearing a gown: cocktails, dinner, speeches, the ask, the program. The music's job is to hold that structure together — to give the room a pulse between moments and get out of the way during them. That is what she plays: classical violin through cocktails and dinner, timed silence around the auctioneer, a lift exactly when the paddle raise closes.
Then the program turns. The transparent electric violin — an instrument the room has not seen before — takes the late evening, glowing through the dark, solo or over your DJ. It is the difference between a benefit that ends at dessert and one that ends on the dance floor.
She has played this caliber of room on both sides of the Atlantic: the Ziegfeld Ballroom, The Plaza Hotel on Central Park, the Metropolitan Club, charity galas across the Hamptons — and before New York, fifteen years on Paris's grandest stages.

The evening, in movements.
How a gala unfoldsArrivals
Live strings over cocktails — the room understands the evening's register before the first speech.
Dinner & the ask
Classical violin between the tables, then structured silence: the auctioneer owns the room, the music frames the close.
The program
Walk-ups, entrance cues, an interlude written to your script — timed with production, not improvised.
The late evening
The transparent violin glows through the dark and the benefit becomes a party — the part guests mention when they re-up next year.
