This 13-year-old girl, Sarina Zhang, from the pre-college division at Juilliard, first played the cello like a virtuoso, and then was invited back to play Chopin on the piano – a display of skill and emotional range that literally brought many in the room to tears. The moment she played the last note, everyone watching leapt to their feet to give her a standing ovation – and this was a room full of seasoned concertgoers. I’m trying to locate an audio of her playing – you have to hear it.
