Sadie Varius · Maison Varius

Sadie Varius is an electric violinist based in New York City, performing on a custom transparent LED violin with eight microphones embedded in its body - an instrument that exists nowhere else, glowing blue, gold, green, red or white through the dark, matched to your palette. For evening shows she pairs it with a couture dress woven with light. Classically trained in Paris from age three - her first classes steps from the Eiffel Tower - she spent fifteen years on France's grandest stages, from the Theatre du Chatelet to the Ritz Paris and a private evening at the Louis Vuitton flagship, before bringing her act to New York. Her cover of Ludovico Einaudi's "Experience" has passed 800,000 views on YouTube. Her programs run from Bach to film scores to pop and electro, designed with each couple: the ceremony, where the violin holds the room without ever covering a vow; the cocktail hour; dinner on the classical violin between the tables; and the reception, where the LED violin turns the evening into a show - solo, or with her hand-picked New York network of DJ, drums and saxophone. She brings her own concert-grade sound for gardens, terraces, tents and beachfronts, and a simple technical rider makes any venue's system plug-and-play. Recent weddings and events include The Plaza Hotel on Central Park, the Ziegfeld Ballroom, Park Chateau Estate, The Legacy Castle, and The Bohlin on Newport Harbor. She performs across New York City, Long Island and the Hamptons, Westchester, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
