Oceanlight Records Radio Shore...Guest Artist: Electrifying Violinst ...Karen Briggs

Violinist Superstar
KAREN BRIGGS
The electrifying
Violinist extraordinaire... There are
violinists who, although classically
trained, perform primarily
non-classical music. Karen Briggs
is one of those "hybrid" violinists.
Her sound indicates exposure to
Gospel, Latin, Classical, African,
Jazz and R & B music. Her playing
combines the rip and energy of
Jimi Hendrix, a unique "vocal-like"
soul, the bop and swing phrasing of
Charlie Parker with embellishment
of rhythmic bowing.
A common refrain is that Karen's
performances are "electrifying and
explosive!" Described as
"that lady in red", Karen has
recorded for the "Lost City"
Original Soundtrack,
Diana Ross, Kenny
Loggins & many others

Karen Briggs was the featured
Solo Violinist with New Age Artist,
'Yanni & Orchestra' for several years.
She was prominently featured
during fiery performances in
the multi-platinum selling video/cd,
"Yanni, Live at the Acropolis."
