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

Mirror or LED costumes for a frosted look.
Weddings
From the aisle to the first dance.
Launches

Awards nights
A big entrance for the ceremony.

Tips from our team

1
Choose the costume
From smart black to LED and mirrored looks, tell us your theme and we will match it.
2
Brief the DJ
Violin over the DJ works best when they agree the tracks in advance.
3
Check the power
Violinists need a power point and either their own speaker or a feed into your system.
