Karen Briggs is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. If you haven't heard or seen her you missed out.
I had loved Yanni Music before being introduced to her from Yanni...BUT...after she came on the scenes OMG it was a wrap..I could not ever forget her perform I fell in love...with her and Yanni all over again!
As a teenager, my stepdad introduced me to the music of Yanni and Karen was and is his favorite out of all of the other musicians featured! Karen is brilliant! Such a phenomenal violinist! ❤️
Incredible. I love the electric violin. I saw both Jean Luc Ponty and Jean Pierre Rampal live and was so blown away by their playing. And now I've discovered Karen Briggs.
She's a legend
She's the best!

Simply the best
What a wonderful person (and musician) you are!!!
Uma das maiores performances de um instrumentistas que eu já vi na minha vida. One of the greatest performances by an instrumentalist I've ever seen in my life.
Very good interview, love karen, the best violinist in world, amazing
The best by far...great, espectacular!
Very inspiring to know she took up violin in school. That Yanni performance is one that took my appreciation for contemporary music to another level. Being heavy into the hip-hop scene coming out of NYC at the time, I remember seeing that Within Attraction performance as a battle and Karen kicking arse. It really opened my mind and eyes.
all i can say is lady briggs u are a treasure i played violin and viola throughout elementary and high school i am now 38 years old and your music and specifically your tribute performance with yanni made me forget the bullying that made me stop playing as an african American string instruments became an embarrassment to me and u inspired me to take my place in music again and for the record i still have me original viola and violin over all these years and im in love with my music again😁😁😁👍
Karen Briggs is the Greatest!!!!

9:35 Did the sax guy covered his ear to muffle that violin sound?
What is the name of the song she is performing in at 8:50?
