Testimonials
“CARA-C is an inspirational violinist and a wonderful artist!” -John Travolta "Me as a listener, I love when I pop in a CD and it sounds like no one else, and I'm transported to a whole new world. CARA-C does that. She has got a marvelous approach and singular style." -Joe Chiccarelli "CARA-C brings out the pop modern violin sound - fresh, happy and fearless.... her spirit will take you over, you are caught under her spell." -Daniel Ben Av “Who would have thought she was such a rock star!!! What an accomplished violinist and entertainer. And that red violin is cool as hell. Very sensual and very confident image. That is plain ol’ powerful and sexy!” -Frank Rodriguez “I've never heard a violin "sing" like this before. When CARA plays violin, she is not really here. She is up in the sky- like she is close to God” -V.Khoury-Ghata "I enjoyed track 2 (Love To Love You Baby) just based on the familiarity of the song but really for the new twist. To add an electronica, (obviously violin) and disco-beat feel to this song gives it an entire new life. For younger listeners, they may not even know it's a cover! Well done." – James Pantaleo
– John Travolta
