Sarah Charness is an electric violinist known for her high-energy performances and genre-blending style, combining classical technique with pop and electronic music.
She began playing violin at the age of four and later toured North America as a soloist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Her work extends beyond traditional performance, with appearances in major fashion events including Vera Wang, Pronovias, and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Sarah’s approach to the violin is rooted in movement as much as sound. After first encountering the Viper at a young age, she quickly adopted it into her playing—drawn to its self-supporting design and the freedom it offers on stage.
“As soon as I tried the Viper, everything changed. My neck and shoulders relaxed, and I finally had the freedom to move. For the first time, I could fully bring dance into my playing.”
She performs on a 6-string Viper, using its extended range and ergonomic design to support a more physical, expressive style of performance.
Her work continues to evolve across live shows, recordings, and collaborations within the electronic music space, pushing the violin into new environments and audiences.
