Oliver Leitner, 13, in recital on February 15, 2014, performing Bach Partita No. 3, Kabalevsky Violin Concerto in C Major, and pieces by Suk, Kreisler and Massenet.
Simply excellent playing! 13 years old! Displays a marvelously advanced musical maturity! Thank you for the exposure. Thoroughly enjoyed. Love to hear him with the orchestra.
I was in the front row center left with my 9 year old daughter for this entire performance, (she is in her faux leopard jacket in the other videos just to the bottom left). She is 17 now and still talks about it. Just an incredible performance by an amazing talent all for a food donation nonetheless.
Incredibly talented! You see kids everywhere who can move their fingers virtuosically, but this is professional musicality! (I’m a professional violinist and teacher.) He did look a lot older than 13, but some kids do grow earlier.
