Profile
WHO IS SOPHIE SERAFINO?
Violinist, singer and songwriter Sophie Serafino is a pioneer
in the music industry. Violinists are meant to have a certain sound, they’re
meant to look a certain way, and they most certainly stick to similar genre.
Well, that’s what we’re used to.
Sophie Serafino is a violinist, also a singer and songwriter, with a unique
blend of pop music. The style evolved after years of experimentation with many
musical genres, has been described as entirely unique. Sophie mixes world
music and impressionistic sounds with funk, dance and classically inspired
strings. Sophie has travelled with her own original act to London, Amsterdam,
Paris, Rome, Istanbul, Casablanca, Manama Bahrain, Delhi and Los Angeles
Sophie performs her original material with her 5 piece band,
and loves to experiment with the classics and improvising with house DJs or
performing house mixes of her music.
Sophie has spent 2007 writing and performing all over the
world and completing the third year of her degree at the Sydney Conservatorium
as a violin performance major. In January Sophie performed in London and
Paris. In March, Sophie performed in Los Angeles. In April, Sophie was back
performing in London and Paris. Sophie was resident artist at 360 Istanbul in
November and December 2007, and also performed in London, Rome and Casablanca
before Christmas. A new album is on the way, so keep an eye on Sophie Serafino.
This fiddler is on the move.

Production Requirements
Sound Production
Critical to the performance is a surround
sound “concert hall” effect. It is imperative
that speakers be placed evenly around the room so
as an even sound can come from wherever the performer moves. A reverb effect
is also needed to help create this ambience. We supply a Senheisser (EW172G2
GI wireless) and a sound engineer is needed to operate this with a PA system
suitable to the venue size and suitable to amplify an acoustic violin.
A Minimum 8 speaker PA system, plus 3 fold-back wedges
(More speakers
needed for larger events. It is essential that speakers be placed evenly
around the room so as to obtain
equal sound
coverage throughout.)

Testimonials
Black & White Australia
(2006) "Sophie's eye contact is perilously unavoidable in
conversation. She is persuasive, direct and natural...if flame haired
violinist Serafino can lead that audience to a place where classical meets pop
and rock, the rest is easy."
Daily Telegraph (2007) Serafino
has ‘inimitable style’
Penrith Press: (2003)
"Serafino turns all concepts of violin virtuosity around", "she
takes the violin from the concert house into the world of the pop diva"
and "is one of the few who deserve the title of DIVA"
