@isaacchapul269 music is a joke ? If music was a joke for him he wouldn't have been globally known as a famous professional violinist . If music WASNT a joke for you , you wouldn't be here calling proffesionals jokers .
He’s very nice and very friendly My daughter is the lucky girl who win the violin we are so happy for her she really needed. Especially thanks to Ray Chen we are very grateful thank you so much.;and congratulations to all participants .
oooh this melts my heart. congrats not only for having a little talent as a daughter but also for raising her so well with such a great attitude. keep on with good parenting and your daughter will make her way in whatever she will be doing in future!
Little girl sealed her fate by having the best reason for wanting a violin. Always fun to see Ray working with kids. Also I loved that girl hitting the cowbell.
@@3XCube86I mean none were better than Ray but all got money, same with her. The reason she won cus people think she has the best reason to have the violin. I mean like who needs a backup violin, only professionals require one
@@goblinsRule Well I'm still very much a kid despite my advancing years... & continue to do crazy stuff! Children teach you to see the world through their eyes. Adults are all too familiar with rain & snow but to a child this is wondrous & exciting. If ever we get any white stuff, I'm out there with my carrot making a snowman. Ray's Bach duet was such fun for the youngsters watching it. Violin swaps, conductor swaps, all hilarious!
Ray, bring the busker back! I'm glad the girl won but he actually played the best and there's some real talent there. He seemed very introverted and didn't sell himself very well, but I found him fantastic and also the fact that he wanted a violin for busking could mean he may have some money issues. I'd love to hear him more, his sound was great, he just was holding back verbally. Love what you do, Ray, you're a Ray of sunshine!! Much love from Germany!
great job building up students. that's what a master does. not sit on a pile of glory, but to give it out and give it away!!!! I love your encouragement to students. fantastic work.
Thanks, Ray Chen, for making classical music more "people friendly" by taking it out of the concert hall and in that way maybe inspire more young people to engage with it!
Ray's jovial personality just shines through in this video! He's great with the audience and the kids, who I think will always cherish the memory of sharing the stage with Ray.
Ray, we love you, and you did a fantastic job with the kids, especially with the manipulated violins. But, we are partial to struggling college students. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you broaden not only your horizon, but to raise the bar for the students. It was a lifetime opportunity to compete against you. They will treasure this learnong and growth. Seeing the adaptation was phenomenal. Sorry they robbed you blind. The crowd was blissfully biased for the kids.
@@xandraxandra1437 I don't think he has perfect pitch but he definitely has a very very well-tuned ear! You can practice recognizing different notes through repeated practice. I think he mentioned that he doesn't have perfect pitch on a video.
i wondered wether the boy might be an autist and be VERY VERY nervous and challenged speaking even a little in public. he seemed so much more confident when playing the violin.
Love this whole thing!! My only wish, is that if you’re gonna bring kids in it.. that you’d gift all 3 of them violins. Those kids are all winners in my book..
More of this absolutely! Bring in other professionals, TwoSet, all kinds of fun challenges. What a great way to make entertaining content while also giving back to kids pursuing music!
this is so wholesome and beautiful, thank you so much Ray, and to Kennedy Violins and to the Colburn School!!! All the challengers were amazing!! I showed this video to a friend who is a aspiring artist [illustration] and when the young girl said not to give up even though you make a mistake she cried watching that. Thank you so much, your words have really moved her to keep going. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Just started watching a few violin videos (you stumble onto one and then more and more channels and videos get recommended). Such a nice change! So much respect for people who train so hard in order to bring beautiful music to the world!
Watched this with my husband. This was such a fun challenge. I play nothing but am still a fan. Congratulations to the young lady who won! You can just see her love for the 🎻. All contestants did great 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Ray your are an Amazing human being with a great sense of humor and love for music my daughter is beyond impressed with you she adores you, thank you for those beautiful moments and keep going Dalia G. Dad.
When your an entertainer you keep talking, asking questions, repeating things that happened. No dead air. I completely agree he knows what he is doing.
This was such a fun day! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have such a fun time! I also made a new friend thanks to this (April if u see this, I love uuuuu❤❤❤) I found some of the contenders on tonic as well and go into their practice rooms! Thank you for building such a nice, wholesome community🩷
As regards Violin; I can only go to what plays on my emotions; this clip made me emotional on all the right levels. Thanks Ray for doing this type of thing. If anyone has suggestions for other wonderful; inspiring pieces from the next gen; I'd love to hear about them please. Kudos Ray for setting yourself up. Its a gem of an upload.
I'm sooo very happy Dalia won! Her reason for wanting the new violin was a real tear jerker! Now she has her own violin and doesn't have to depend on one from her school anymore. Yay! 🎉🎉❤❤ God bless you, Ray, and Kennedy Violins!
What does her parents do, if they can't afford to buy a violin? You can buy used one for 100-200 bucks ...And don't forget that States richest country in world
Ray I am so glad that youtube recommended me this video . I originally saw you learning Polyphia in 30 minutes. When a well-known artist/performer/celebrity actually goes out of their way to connect with and inspire other musicians 🥲🥲🥲🥺 That is completely priceless! I don't even play the violin! But thank you for what you do in the world. Keep it up 🥰🥰
I remember when i was younger and was at that stage of learning to play the violin. Hell, i was probably about 7 when i was learning pieces like they played. Having your very own violin helps tremendously. It gives you a lot of confidence. I was very lucky because someone my family knew gave me one that was much like these.. a learner..and when i got older and showed i really was learning and dedicated..they traded it for auch more expensive and higher quality.. I played from the time I was maybe 5 or 6 until I was an older teen. I played eith orchestras snd symphonies and was able to play with BYU Symphony.. It is good to see kids still learning and showing interest in music and playing music like this . Parents..get your kids involved in playing music, learning it as young as possible... It does wonders for theor minds abd creativity. It allows them to utilize parts of theor brain thT helps them be more focused in life. Teaches them to overcome challenges and difficulty.. perseverance.. and so much more. So many areas that they can learn to apply later in life to many ateas of life.
Late to the party, but.. Sight reading is one thing (I know at my best, I probably still won’t ever be good enough), but playing by ear… and a piece so intricate…🤯 I’m in awe. (The only person I know who could play with a similar level of precision was my father.)
"I love how you cleverly play with imperfections to bring out the brilliance in your guest competitors! Your unique approach to keeping classical music alive and thriving in today's age is truly inspiring. You, Ray Chen, are a genius! I want to express my deepest gratitude for rekindling my long-lost passion for classical music. Your videos are electrifying and leave me feeling revitalized, filled with boundless energy and enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the world!"
This was fun. I normally watch the ones that on the streets. Or in the mall. Watching this me. Personally, I felt a different type of excitement and energy. Full of anticipation, I think this is a good idea. And other musicians should start doing this too. This would really inspire much more other musicians. We personally I feel music heals the soul.
Keep it up guys. I have always loved playing the violin but I gave it up in exchange for a career in medicine. Sometimes I still wonder what could've happened if I pursued music instead. I tried playing few years back but I couldn't keep up anymore, not like when I was younger.
That was fabulous!! Ray, you have such a kind soul and you epitomize what it means to invest in others. You are world renowned and still take time out of what I am sure is an insane schedule to share your talent and love of music with others. Your facial expressions are epic. I do have to ask, where did you get that jacket? It is one of coolest jackets I’ve ever seen.

Super cool for you to do this man! You're gonna end up changing somebody's life with one of those violins!
Ray i love your jacket !
@isaacchapul269 mr music joker ??? If you think youre better than him why dont you prove it
@isaacchapul269 better go practice grammar , and music !
And FYI you're the only joker here
@isaacchapul269 music is a joke ? If music was a joke for him he wouldn't have been globally known as a famous professional violinist . If music WASNT a joke for you , you wouldn't be here calling proffesionals jokers .
He’s very nice and very friendly
My daughter is the lucky girl who win the violin we are so happy for her she really needed.
Especially thanks to Ray Chen we are very grateful thank you so much.;and congratulations to all participants .
Congratulations!! She was lovely! And her outlook on music was beautiful. I hope she enjoys that violin, she deserves it!
@@ValiantVicuna thank you 🙏
We are so very very happy and very grateful 💕thank you for your nice words.
oooh this melts my heart. congrats not only for having a little talent as a daughter but also for raising her so well with such a great attitude. keep on with good parenting and your daughter will make her way in whatever she will be doing in future!
@@ChiefHerzensCoach thank you 🙏 so much
She has been inspired by Ling Ling!
The fact that they could play so well with the string swapped is amazing
This is the reason why you should practice with both hands! 😂
I have a question what is the violin music at the beginning of the background that sounds very beautiful
@@avyord687 vivaldi winter
Little girl sealed her fate by having the best reason for wanting a violin. Always fun to see Ray working with kids. Also I loved that girl hitting the cowbell.
Facts it was all about intention
@@3XCube86she probably would have been if she had her own personal violin, she definitely deserves it
Probably the majority of people weren't as good as Ray, but like this girl, they were deemed more worthy to receive the reward
@@3XCube86I mean none were better than Ray but all got money, same with her. The reason she won cus people think she has the best reason to have the violin. I mean like who needs a backup violin, only professionals require one
she won because she a girl
All the contestants did a great job, I loved their good humour and can-do attitude. The crowd also worked perfectly together to rob Ray blind.
Hmmm
How the heck does does a guy like Ray exist. Looks perfect, plays perfect, interacts perfect and can actually host!
... and is such a fun guy to boot! I also love how he does his damnedest to encourage music in the young. Quite some fella!
@@wakingtheworldbecause we think to learn we need to give up fun, and become like a monk, or spend so much time, we have become socially not adaptive

My exact words

Hmmm
The girl won because all females young and old have Female Privelege and are consistently held to the Accountability standard of children
Ray is the type of violinist to interact with people in the most friendly way and also have a great sense of humor. Keep it up, Ray!
Hmmm
great job building up students. that's what a master does. not sit on a pile of glory, but to give it out and give it away!!!! I love your encouragement to students. fantastic work.
THIS is the BEST idea!!! This was amazing to watch and listen to. These new young musicians are extremely talented!!! I love it!
"sound better when reversed" emotional damage x40.
Ling Ling 40 hours
Compliment and insult at the same time 😂
LMAOOO POOR KENNY
only practice on hard mode
Backhanded compliment
Violinst influencer that actually a master is what we need in this world!
Hmmm
Thanks, Ray Chen, for making classical music more "people friendly" by taking it out of the concert hall and in that way maybe inspire more young people to engage with it!
You're kind, humble, funny, a true artist. A beautiful person. We need more people like you in this crazy world. ❤
I am very happy for the sweet girl who won the violin, 🎻 they all played so well 👏👏 kudos 🎻🎶
The defeated transition from paganini to howl's moving castle at 12:53 made me cackle out loud
Lol I reckon that
Bro i love that anime❤❤
Look, it has to go somewhere, right? Either keep faking it or transition to a known piece. It was subtle, too, so Yay!
The little girl motivated me because I'm learning how to play and sometimes I become discouraged ❤
Hmmm
Imagine a plot twist ... Maxim Vengerov is one of the contestants 🤣
OMG I would have died HAHAHA!
underrated comment
Hilary Hahn coming from behind...
Ling ling winning with no sweat
@@heoxinh1111All 99 violins
The little girl really brought tears to my eyes...Ray and all the audiences were all so warm and friendly!
Me too!!!
Same. She was so sweet and cute!!!!
Ray's jovial personality just shines through in this video! He's great with the audience and the kids, who I think will always cherish the memory of sharing the stage with Ray.

That was the first time Ray played Paganini 1 and he did it without sheet music? That's incredible.
He shows why he is a pro! I think he has some kind of perfect pitch too.
@@xandraxandra1437 I don't think he has perfect pitch but he definitely has a very very well-tuned ear! You can practice recognizing different notes through repeated practice. I think he mentioned that he doesn't have perfect pitch on a video.
@@jadeo1875 That's why a wrote "some kind of", because I wasn't sure what's called. I too have heard him saying he hasn't have perfect pitch.
@@xandraxandra1437 oh I see. No worries :)
@@jadeo1875Not just that but figuring out the fingering and having pretty good intonation that quickly is pretty impressive
Next time somebody asks me how old I am I’m gonna tell them “Vivaldi” with a completely straight face
i wondered wether the boy might be an autist and be VERY VERY nervous and challenged speaking even a little in public. he seemed so much more confident when playing the violin.
You beat me to it! Let's start a movement... 🤣
I’m gonna do that. Although I’m sure no one would understand and I’ll just embarrass myself.
I think he was saying his own name, Vitaly.
@@The-WordsmithI'll take the first movement from Spring
The "Need a back-up violin!" killed me 😂
... and his father's reaction - I could feel it from here!
I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. So great to see so many talented musicians!
The best TH-camr's competition/challenge I've ever watched in TH-cam!
The best crowd too! 😄😊
Love this whole thing!! My only wish, is that if you’re gonna bring kids in it.. that you’d gift all 3 of them violins. Those kids are all winners in my book..
Really, Ray, you are a great violinist and a bright , cheerful person who makes me look forward to next !!✨✨👑🥇💯🎻
More of this absolutely! Bring in other professionals, TwoSet, all kinds of fun challenges. What a great way to make entertaining content while also giving back to kids pursuing music!
So adorable & heartwarming. 💗 And the violin winner! 💖. And 👏👏👏 for everyone's bravery. Epic event! 😄
I rarely comment on videos and this is the first of your videos I’ve come by. I love your fun personality and kindness. ❤
this is so wholesome and beautiful, thank you so much Ray, and to Kennedy Violins and to the Colburn School!!! All the challengers were amazing!! I showed this video to a friend who is a aspiring artist [illustration] and when the young girl said not to give up even though you make a mistake she cried watching that. Thank you so much, your words have really moved her to keep going. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
❤️❤️
Such a cool concept.. Love to see such young talent showcasing their abilities.
Rey Chen is such a good guy with good hearted charisma. A VERY fun video
Lol the All D violin was cold blooded nice one
Was the perfect piece for it too 😂 "suddenly 30 seconds feels very long" 😂 just...all his shade in that part was hilarious 😂😂😂
I am not a violinist but that was really special how you brought people together to support one another. Keep up the good work
Just started watching a few violin videos (you stumble onto one and then more and more channels and videos get recommended). Such a nice change! So much respect for people who train so hard in order to bring beautiful music to the world!
Watched this with my husband. This was such a fun challenge. I play nothing but am still a fan.
Congratulations to the young lady who won! You can just see her love for the 🎻.
All contestants did great 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
That little girl motivated me, because I'm a begginer/intermediate and sometimes it gets so difficult
you're one of my favourite violinists yet so friendly and down-to-earth, love that!
You're such a kind personality. Love you for being so friendly.
thank you for the giving spirit. you seem to be better on average, but I love that the crowd supports the kids
The best violin competition I've ever watched and listened to.
Wonderful competition! They were all so good, and round 2 was amazing! To play the altered violins takes real talent! Thanks, Ray, for doing this! ❤
OMG that was amazing!
Being mother of a 13yo son I so laughed when Ray said: „Don’t turn 13, that is what happens!“ And he is absolutely right… 😂
I like the way u r,Ray, never stop to give-share-learn..Thanks for ur every effort! 🎉
The mastery of the craft is clear. Keep inspiring us with amazing work!
So fun! And glad she won. They all did great!
Ray, I truly admire you, and this video brought me so much joy! Keep doing these beautiful things!
Cow Bell Girl cracks me up. Every time she hits it, she flinches LOL
That is a great way for people to get the violins they need but I don’t know of anyone that can beat Ray Chen. Absolutely amazing artist.
Ray your are an Amazing human being with a great sense of humor and love for music my daughter is beyond impressed with you she adores you, thank you for those beautiful moments and keep going Dalia G. Dad.
You are just mind blowing. Your music just goes right inside my cells!!!
Kenny definitely knows how to carry the conversation. haha
When your an entertainer you keep talking, asking questions, repeating things that happened. No dead air. I completely agree he knows what he is doing.
It’s really cool to hear Ray play the pieces back to back after the contestants
This was so cool of you to put on. More musicians need to do this. Liked & subscribed. ❤
This was such a fun day! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have such a fun time! I also made a new friend thanks to this (April if u see this, I love uuuuu❤❤❤) I found some of the contenders on tonic as well and go into their practice rooms!

I enjoyed watching this video! You and all the participants were all quite impressive! 💖😍💖

I am so excited to see who can beat the king!!!
Him and Roman Kim are the best ones in the 21st century 4 me
@@HellNoNotKerry oh yesss ! I like anne sophie mutter too , in pop , lindsey stirling composes unforgettable hits
I don't really know what I love about you, your sense of humor or your violin skills
Great Video, we need more recordings in baroque tuning so they will sound again how they where composed back in these days the halfstep down 🥰
I'm sooo very happy Dalia won! Her reason for wanting the new violin was a real tear jerker! Now she has her own violin and doesn't have to depend on one from her school anymore. Yay! 🎉🎉❤❤ God bless you, Ray, and Kennedy Violins!
What does her parents do, if they can't afford to buy a violin? You can buy used one for 100-200 bucks ...And don't forget that States richest country in world
Awesome!
So encouraging!
Ray I am so glad that youtube recommended me this video . I originally saw you learning Polyphia in 30 minutes. When a well-known artist/performer/celebrity actually goes out of their way to connect with and inspire other musicians 🥲🥲🥲🥺 That is completely priceless! I don't even play the violin! But thank you for what you do in the world. Keep it up 🥰🥰
I hope that little girl goes as far as she wishes with the violin 👏👏👏 very smart and determined and now she's got her own violin 🙌🙏
Loved this video
I type this with happy tears in my eyes, That little girl is wise beyond her years.
Just got hit with tears with the first piece
I remember when i was younger and was at that stage of learning to play the violin.
Hell, i was probably about 7 when i was learning pieces like they played.
Having your very own violin helps tremendously. It gives you a lot of confidence.
I was very lucky because someone my family knew gave me one that was much like these.. a learner..and when i got older and showed i really was learning and dedicated..they traded it for auch more expensive and higher quality..
I played from the time I was maybe 5 or 6 until I was an older teen. I played eith orchestras snd symphonies and was able to play with BYU Symphony..
It is good to see kids still learning and showing interest in music and playing music like this .
Parents..get your kids involved in playing music, learning it as young as possible... It does wonders for theor minds abd creativity. It allows them to utilize parts of theor brain thT helps them be more focused in life. Teaches them to overcome challenges and difficulty.. perseverance.. and so much more. So many areas that they can learn to apply later in life to many ateas of life.
Late to the party, but.. Sight reading is one thing (I know at my best, I probably still won’t ever be good enough), but playing by ear… and a piece so intricate…🤯 I’m in awe.

Congratulations to Dalia!❤ Thank you very much for this video and for this challenge!
On behalf of Mr Kenny G, his instrument is the soprano sax. Violin is his side instrument. 😅
This does make for such a refreshing change from the usual physical/mental health challenges. 👍🎻
Woah this is such an amazing video! This is what music is all about!! And I was so happy when Dalia won the violin, good for them!!

OMG, every one is amazing but Ray’s playing makes me goosebumps!!! Bravo 👏👏👏
The bully is being bullied by the audience 🤣✨
Una maravillosa charla, necesitamos la conversión de cada día!!!
This is soooo great. Thanks Ray for doing this. The kids are adorable and the other players are fantastic 😍💯❤❤❤
Feels like love for music permeates the entire atmosphere, beautiful vibe.
You are insane, Ray Chen, unique, unprecedented 🔥❤️
Keep it up guys. I have always loved playing the violin but I gave it up in exchange for a career in medicine. Sometimes I still wonder what could've happened if I pursued music instead. I tried playing few years back but I couldn't keep up anymore, not like when I was younger.
Little girl deserved that violin 🎻 she had the best answer sure she made a mistake but,who hasn't at least she didn't give up❤🎉
I say she had the best intentions
I was rooting for Dalia, happy she won! She finally got her own violin now!
Ray is a good man, and optionally a great musician.
4:37 wow that's beautifully amazing - they really jacked up that violin so many knotches!
Best gift ever for Dalia! See you in LA on the 27th Ray!
That was fabulous!! Ray, you have such a kind soul and you epitomize what it means to invest in others. You are world renowned and still take time out of what I am sure is an insane schedule to share your talent and love of music with others. Your facial expressions are epic. I do have to ask, where did you get that jacket? It is one of coolest jackets I’ve ever seen.
