Live music at Sony Hall.
Solo violin, jazz piano, and DJ + live violin at the historic Paramount Hotel venue on 46th Street — corporate galas, brand events, and private receptions in a room built for stage performance.
A theater room with a full stage.
Sony Hall is the old Paramount Hotel supper club room, restored and re-opened as a genuine music venue with a full stage, professional lighting, and a room designed for a performer to hold. For corporate galas and brand events, that's different from a hotel ballroom — the room expects music to be a performance, not background. Julie's formats on this stage lean into that: featured live moments during a gala program, an original score performed to a brand video, or a full hybrid DJ + live violin set for the reception where the sound system can actually carry it.
Formats that fit Sony Hall.
Corporate galas with a program — Featured live performance moments across the evening — walk-on themes for keynote speakers, transition music between panels, live cues under video segments. Original scoring on request.
Brand activations — Live music composed to your brand video and performed on stage in sync with the screen behind. Cue points locked with your production team in advance.
Private receptions and after-parties — DJ + live violin format with the venue's house sound and lighting. Reception-scale room, comfortable for 200 to 800 guests.
Cocktail hours in the mezzanine and lounge spaces — Solo violin or jazz piano at lower volume, working around the room's natural acoustics.
Sony Hall logistics.
Sony Hall has its own house AV team and professional stage infrastructure. Julie coordinates with the venue's production lead well before the event, feeds directly into house sound, and travels light — the room provides the stage plot and most of the technical footprint. For events with an outside production team, she works off their run of show and joins a pre-event production call.
