Thanks for these fun videos. My 8 year old son loves classical, plays violin and is a big fan of yours. You're definitely making an impact on the younger generation. Can't wait for your concert with NCCO. All the best Ray!
The busking performance: 10/10 The music jokes: Sacrilegious/10 Part of me thought for a second that TwoSet Violin might actually crash your performance. If you end up revisiting the Bay Area, you should try Koi Palace in Daly City near Serramonte Mall. Their Dim Sum is excellent and a favorite for many locals. The Chinese cuisine along the Peninsula (San Mateo County) in my personal opinion is as good as San Francisco.
He is Taiwanese Australian but he lost Australian English accent , now speaking with American accent !!! Ray , how much money did you make that day ???????
I love San Francisco!!! I visited their oldest town, Alexandria, the Fisherman's Wharf, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge, their vineyards and wineries, Lombard Street (the most crooked street in the world), and a lot more.
Saw the concert last night in San Francisco and that was some of the best Mozart playing I've heard in my life. Really great job, and I love your goofy video too.
When the video is too old but it's about food and you click on it anyway I loved it ♡ Btw, something like this from lovely Taiwan would be more than welcomed! I never knew what a beautiful place it was until I googled it with a bit more attention the other day. I must admit, I'm smitten. Here in my country there's a Taiwanese community and we've always kind of knew about the country because of commercial relationships, but I don't think its culture is as widespread or as popular as for example that of other Asian countries - Japan, China - whose communities are perhaps bigger in number (in my city at least). Maybe sharing some regional/folk music as well? In collab with someone? That would be so cool. As we say in Argentina, un abrazo che! Saludos!
I have only been to San Francisco once many years ago, but while it wasn't meant to be a travel video (or was it?) you have encouraged me to take "my heart to San Francisco" Thank you, sir! Oh, yes, I love your violin playing you tube videos. Make one of your conducting there in SF. Peace!
Hey Ray! When you get to Lisbon, please make sure to try Macau Dim Sum, it's a delicious chinese place specialized in Dim Sum, and I can garantee you that the shrimp dumplings are delicious :)

HIS ACCENT KEEPS CHANGING
He is a chameleon with a violin.
And your problem IS?! 😄
He is so talented yet down to earth person !
does he just bring the strad with him in public places like that or does he carry around a spare when he's not playing concerts?
Kurt S good point
Kurt S That's not the Stradivarious
He needs a "My other violin is a Strad" bumper sticker for the busking violin
Probably a spare because if anything ever happened to his Strad… 😬

Aww, I'd have sat on that rocklike thing the whole time to listen to him play. And I'm so happy there are no midroll ads in this video.
I love this video 😭😭 definitely on my confort ones list
Congrats on the rave review in the Mercury News! Much deserved. It was a FAN-TAS-TIC evening. And this video is lotsa fun.

A lot of food there, Ray. Thank you for giving us your music.
Ray always makes my day!
love this - thanks!
This was fantastic! Thank you.
The dim sum looked so good.. My fav part was overhearing people say, "I've seen him on TH-cam!"
Entertaining, warm and thank you!
I love how he says "when in doubt, play Bach" as if we mortals could just show off out of nowhere BACH hahahahaha

So funny and adorable. cute
Awesome !
Loved your video! Wish we were in Japantown while you played!!
Loved it!!!
The dimsum from Taiwan was the bestest.
Ray went from playing a $10 million Stradivarius to playing on the streets?
ikr
With the 21.4% Chinese population, Ray easily got a Chinese person as his Chinese Food Sidekick.
Opened this video midnight when VERY hungry, which does not make sense at all...
*MOAR VIBRATO PLZ*
YUS
Even Chinese Resto in America serves a hefty and very generous serving.
also what was the piece at 6:45? I need to know please lol
It's Sarasate's Introduction and Tarantella
Oml i read ur comment as “what’s this species”
Little do the ppl know, that the violin he’s using is a strad which costs MILLIONS of dollars
Bitiful ❤❤❤❤
I'm so confused, is Ray American or Australian
SAME! Good to know I’m not the only one
Australian, but his accent keeps changing depending on where he plays
He belongs to every place and every one! 😃
Not too shabby, Dragon breath!
Hey, does anybody know the name of the tune he played for a few seconds at 6:08? Does it exist? :P
Michael Connolly it's Toxic by Britney Spears
Bretts Mom: PLAY MORE CHINESE!!!!! UUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
how long were you in san fran? you have an american accent!
Wow, love those high notes! (Paganini?)
This would have been a good place for the joshua bell experiment
6:10 I wonder how many people turned around to look at you after that
Can someone please tell me what piece is being played at 6:13 or send me a link.
BIIIIITCH THAT COPLAND THO MOHHHHHRR
😊
He's so funny!
Haha, guy on the left at 05:11.

Me: "What is wrong with you people???"
6:09 😂😂😂

Ray, say hello to me Brazil.

But where'd you go for dinner? Surely all that busking worked up an appetite... ;-)
Love me some panada bears.
Did anyone see that French inhale Hahahaha. For a second I was convinced Ray Chen mustve smoked weed at some point in his life lolol
Gah! I wish I was in Japan Town that day!!!
Paralyzed mouth. It sounds like my younger days. We used to call it the Munchies 🤭🤭🤭😁🥳
6:53 RIP
