What is an electric violinist?

An electric violinist plays an amplified violin, usually with backing tracks, performing modern covers of pop, dance and rock as well as classical pieces. The sound is big and bright, and the performance is far more energetic than a traditional string player.

Violinists can play a relaxed set for a drinks reception, a high-energy showpiece, or play over the DJ to lift the dance floor. Wireless kit means many can roam the room, and LED or mirror costumes add a visual edge.

Where it works best

  • Awards nights

    A big entrance for the ceremony.

  • Launches

    A striking live moment for a reveal.

  • Drinks receptions

    Modern covers as guests arrive.

  • Violin with DJ

    Live violin over the dance floor.

  • Weddings

    From the aisle to the first dance.

  • Winter themes

    Mirror or LED costumes for a frosted look.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Check the power

    Violinists need a power point and either their own speaker or a feed into your system.

  2. 2

    Brief the DJ

    Violin over the DJ works best when they agree the tracks in advance.

  3. 3

    Choose the costume

    From smart black to LED and mirrored looks, tell us your theme and we will match it.
