Melanie Doderai ignites audiences with her magnetic stage presence and boundless energy. Melanie began her journey with the violin at the age of three and, as her artistry evolved, discovered her unique voice through the electric violin—seamlessly blending classical technique with modern innovation. 

From symphony halls to festival stages, Melanie continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with the violin, redefining live entertainment for corporate events by combining expressive violin performance with aerial artistry. 

With over twenty years of experience as both a professional violinist and aerial artist, Melanie brings a rare level of artistry, polish, and professionalism to every engagement. Her work has been showcased nationally, including a featured appearance on Canada’s Got Talent and a special performance with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. 

Melanie’s extensive aerial experience and advanced rigging education ensure that every aerial violin performance is grounded in the highest standards of safety, preparation, and execution.

 
 

Melanie is Canada’s first aerial fabric violinist and the first aerial violinist to be featured on Canada’s Got Talent.

 
 

For those determined to fly, having no wings is just a detail.

Melanie is able to provide a unique way to bring both music and visual elegance to your event. Aerial violin is the perfect entertainment for weddings, corporate events and private functions.

"Melanie was hired as an aerial violinist at our annual Aradia Fitness student and instructor showcase this November, and she was absolutely stunning! Not only is she a talented violinist, but she is also an incredibly talented aerialist. How unique is it that she has been able to learn how to bring these two jaw dropping talents together. Anybody that knows Melanie, knows that she brings professionalism, a positive attitude, and leadership skills to anything she is working on. We feel so fortunate to have been able to have her at our event - I can guarantee it is unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. You can not go wrong with hiring such a unique artist with such an incredible display. Thank-you so much Melanie for making our event a memorable one."
