Charters, yacht-club evenings and harborside parties, New York Harbor to Newport: one artist with a compact setup, her own sound, and a violin that glows against the water after dark.
One artist. No band logistics.
A yacht is the one venue where a band is a problem before it is a pleasure: risers, a drum kit, five vendors on a passerelle. A solo artist with a compact, self-contained setup is the format the water actually wants — one person, one rider, and sound that was designed to be carried in and run without a house system.
The wind is planned for, not endured. The technical rider settles power, placement and timing with your captain or your club's events team before the evening; her own professional sound is calibrated so the music holds over water and weather, from the boarding cocktail to the last song at the dock.
And the show belongs on the water after dark: a custom transparent violin, glowing through the night in the color of your evening — against a harbor, there is no better backdrop. Her recent season ran along it: yacht-club evenings, charity galas across the Hamptons, and a full wedding day at The Bohlin on Newport Harbor, told in the journal.

The evening, in movements.
How it unfolds afloatBoarding
Live strings at the passerelle — the evening announces itself before the lines are cast.
Golden hour
The program drifts from Bach toward film scores while the skyline or the harbor does its work behind her.
Dinner
Classical violin in the saloon or on deck: present, never loud, the water audible between pieces.
After dark
The transparent violin begins to glow against the night water — the photograph everyone on board goes home with.

Afloat FAQHow much does a violinist cost for a yacht event?
Programs are quoted per event: a Manhattan charter, a yacht-club dinner and an East End evening are different builds. The quote is exact, arrives within 24 hours, and holds your date for 7 days.
Is there enough room on board for a performance?
Yes — this is a one-artist show with a compact footprint, sized for a saloon, an aft deck or a club terrace. No band risers, no drum kit, no crew of vendors.
What about power and sound on the water?
The technical rider settles power, placement and timing with your captain or club before the evening. Where there is no house system, she brings and runs her own professional sound — calibrated so the music carries over wind and water.
Does open air work for live violin?
It is what her setup is built for. She plays waterfront events with her own concert-grade sound; sea wind is part of the calibration, not a surprise.
Where do you play?
New York Harbor and the city's marinas, Long Island Sound, the East End — Sag Harbor to Montauk — and Newport. The distance is hers to plan; the quote covers everything.
Has she actually played by the water?
Her recent season ran along it: yacht-club evenings, charity galas across the Hamptons, and a full wedding day at The Bohlin on Newport Harbor — the marina at golden hour is in the journal.
Marrying out East? the Hamptons and Rhode Island & Newport have their own pages. Corporate, by occasion: corporate & private events, galas, brand activations, holiday parties.
