In today’s world, where we’re surrounded by smartphones and online activities, not as many young people are interested in playing stringed instruments like the violin.
While technology gives us quick fun and entertainment through screens, the detailed craftsmanship and heartfelt sounds of a violin often get ignored.
Many young folks aren’t discovering the joy of learning to play the violin skillfully, and they’re missing out on the deep bond between musician and instrument.
However, the violin still holds its magic in classical music and more, stirring up feelings that go beyond what you can find online.
Ignoring the beauty of the violin means turning away from centuries of musical heritage and the opportunity to dive into a rewarding journey of talent and imagination that only stringed instruments can provide.
But a teen girl from Ukraine is going against the odds.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Karolina Protsenko.
According to her official website:
“Karolina Protsenko is 13 years old performing violinist, who was born on October 3rd, 2008 in Ukraine to a musical family. Her parents play guitar and piano.
The Family moved to the United States in 2015 when Karolina was 6. She started violin lessons the same year and is classically trained.
Karolina began busking in Summer 2017 at Santa Monica, CA. She has 3 YouTube channels and is on Facebook and Instagram.
In less than 4 years her fan base has grown into more than 10 million followers, in over 50 countries. Her videos on YouTube and other media sites have been viewed well over 1 billion times and she has been featured on the Ellen show.
She has 2 amazing little brothers. She dreams to travel the world with her concerts and make people happy with her music.”
Karolina is someone to watch out for in the music industry.
This violin prodigy is showering not only her online fans but also people on the streets.
Karolina loves busking and surprising people with her talent, but nothing has prepared her for this one.
On one of her most recent busking performances, she met a guest who delightfully shared the spotlight with her.
The guest was Karolina’s adorable two-year-old brother.
The kid was also holding a stringed instrument and seemed to understand what was going on. He played his little heart out with his sister.
The duo wasted not a single minute and immediately jumped into action as they performed a musical cover of ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.’
Karolina started by gracefully swaying while making a good display of her impeccable violin-playing skills.
On the side, her 2-year-old backup was spinning and just enjoying the moment.
The two looked so amazing and thankfully, the beautiful moment was captured on video.
In just a matter of days, the video has already amassed over 2 million views!
That speaks volumes to the immense influence of Karolina not only to her subscribers but also to other people who love seeing a youth like her play the violin so magnificently well.
“Wow, that sounds delightful, Karolina It’s wonderful to see young people enjoying music and sharing their talents. Their enthusiasm and creativity are sure to brighten everyone’s day,” wrote one online viewer.
