The Accidental Violinist

The Independent newspaper takes violinist Tasmin Little under a bridge and has her perform. “The saddest part was watching children being forcibly removed from the suddenly discovered thrill of international-quality classical violin-playing by parents who just didn’t have the time for it. Even if our own lives are too driven to let in great artistry, spiritual excitement and the revelation of the sound of a Strad, shouldn’t our kids have the chance to experience them? Because they do want to; and that fact made the saddest revelation also the happiest.”
