Everyone in the room seemed to pay attention as soon as the young starlet walked out on stage.
She held the violin up to her chin and delicately placed the bow against the strings with a solemn grace that belied her age.
At that moment, the hall went silent, and the air was thick with wonder. When the first notes came out of the instrument, everyone in the room let out a collective gasp.
At that moment, it seemed like time had stopped, and the child’s music spread like a soft breeze.
The child brought the melody to life with each stroke of the bow, giving it a depth of feeling that belied her young age.
Her fingers moved so smoothly across the strings that they made a tapestry of sound that said a lot without her speaking a word.
