So the violinist who performed that Medley was Lindsey Stirling, who I had never heard about, but whose songs are regularly in my rotation. She plays a variety of styles, everything from classical to violin electronica, which I didn't even know was a thing. A few highlights:
An "impromptu" outdoor concert playin.

The singers (the a capella group Pentatonix) don't do much for me, but the solo starting at 1:14 does.
And here are a couple of my favorites "Crystallize":
