September 18, 2025She was kind enough to send me some CDs and I am enjoying them immensely. Her music is beautiful and unlike any other music that I listen to. I just cannot stop listening. It’s awesome. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

They are both outstanding.

June 15, 2024Pro: Kind and sweet. She played all the songs I had requested and even through some fun extra ones.
Cons: Couldn’t hear the violin at all. Had many guests at my bridal shower telling me they could not hear her. Would not play the violin and appeared to not know some of the songs. I had my maid of honor tell her twice to lower the volume on the music because we couldn’t hear the violin but nothing changed. Felt like someone’s iphone was plugged in to an Aux instead.
Super disappointed. Not what I wanted for my bridal shower :/

You are welcome- we gave you 2nd hour for free. And gave you free extra 20 min. for the fun, extra Spanish songs.
If you had the budget, we could have brought a sound man who can level each song to tailor to your space. Under the violinist's ears, where she was standing, the mix sounded balanced. Did you want a soundman for $275? You received 2.5 hrs of live music with your bare boned low budget.
We congratulate the couple for their shower. Sweet couple and nice guests. Nice energy. Older guests were bored with your song selection. Older guests requested Spanish songs on the spot and had to use youtube audio for their unusual song requests that were NOT ON YOUR CONTRACT. We obliged.
Good thing that the violinist has perfect pitch and can improvise to foreign songs that are pushed upon her.
Price range: $300 and up.
Languages: English, Korean
Gig length: 30 - 240 minutes
Unions: AFM, Local 47
She has a spirited stage presence. There is romance in her violin sound. Her music will excite you, lift you and inspire you.
“CARA-C is an inspirational violinist and a wonderful artist!”

"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."

“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
