Quarantined Brothers Rock Out With Stunning “Coldplay” Violin Cover.

Like many other 12-year-olds, twin brothers Mirko and Valerio of Italy are tired of lockdown, but they understand how important it is to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Thankfully, they have something to get them through these uncertain times!

They both play the violin and regularly perform in the Mirko E Valerio Violinisti Little Band. In their words, “Music is our relief valve.” That’s why they’ve been sharing videos of their home concerts. While each cover is impressive, their rendition of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” was so good it caught the attention of the famous band! Once they tweeted the siblings’ video out, the young musicians went viral.

Relieve some of your own stress by watching these two rock Coldplay in the video below, and don’t forget to share their music with your friends. For more stories of joy and hope, check out the Coronavirus Good News Dashboard.
