Little Girl’s Request For Piano Player Ends Up Stunning Everyone At Train Station.

A little girl stands near a pianist sitting at a piano in a train station. What she's saying is in text on the image: "Can you play..." Other text on the image reads: "Watch what she will do" which includes a violin emoji.

Music has such a special way of connecting us all. It’s no wonder, then, that when a pianist named Van plays in public, he often gets requests. In fact, his social media pages are full of clips of his performances, many of which include moments where strangers got involved. Still, even Van was surprised when an adorable 8-year-old girl shyly approached him in a train station.

At first, all she did was request that he play “River Flows in You.” To her surprise, he could! But that wasn’t the only reason she approached him. Being a musician herself, she wanted to find out if she could accompany him with her violin.

Van was thrilled to have her join him! Although the little girl was shy at first, as the music continued to build to the chorus, and folks gathered around, she grew more and more confident. By the end, she earned herself a round of applause!

Watch this talented little girl accompany a piano player for an impromptu performance of “River Flows in You” in the video below.
