16-year-old violin prodigy Karolina Protsenko shreds 'Sweet Home Alabama' on the streets of LA! 🎻🔥 Her energy is unstoppable.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow, this young lady could be going places in the music world. She's got huge talent, energy, presence, moves and looks. Very cool Worth a watch and listen.

She could go far in Nashville in bluegrass.

The next Hilary Hahn.

I don’t know Hilary Hahn.

“Devil Went Down to Georgia” next please!

Very nice

[Fledermaus]

Ah. She’s as cute as a button.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Isn’t she? That stage presence and moves are something, all the while playing. Wow.

Or the next Maria Duenas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2py2PdG6dc

I've been watching her for 4-5 years, she's an incredible violin prodigy.

Unfortunately, now that she's just turned 17 she's decided she wants to sing and be Taylor Swift. She released a new video and it's cringe-worthy.

Karolina has become full of herself, I hope she goes back to being that incredible violinist she was born to be.

You gotta see this rendition of “Sweet home Alabama” by the Leningrad Cowboys if you want to have some fun.

Pretty good. I love the Mendelssohn VC ! Another one to watch for is 17 year prodigiy Christian Li. His performance (and the recording quality) of the Mendelssohn was so good I purchased a high res recording from Qobuz.

I’ve seen some of her vids. Very enjoyable!

[Jonty30]

She is very talented. She’s also made a significant amount of money on the streets playing music on the weekends.

[Chainmail]

Such talent!

[DCPatriot]

She couldn’t carry Hilary Hahn’s jockstrap. /s

Hilary Hahn is a child prodigy, now a married world-class violinist. One of this generation’s greats, as is Chloe Chua.

Bowstrings would be more appropriate. :)

This young lady seems to be patterning herself after Lindsey Stirling. I wonder if she can accomplish some of TwoSet Violin’s Ling-Ling exercises as well as Hillary has?
