While technology gives us quick fun and entertainment through screens, the detailed craftsmanship and heartfelt sounds of a violin often get ignored.
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.
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.
“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 loves busking and surprising people with her talent, but nothing has prepared her for this one.
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.’
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.
