A 9-year-old boy sits down at a public airport piano and completely transforms a crowded airport into a peaceful concert hall.
Who Is the Young Airport Pianist?
This talented young musician goes by Roman on his popular video channel where he shares his love for classical keyboard playing. He is part of a growing movement of bright young performers who bring live music into ordinary everyday places.
A Young Pianist Plays in a Busy Terminal
When you look at the video you see a busy airport with people rushing around with heavy bags. Suddenly this young boy walks right up to a bright painted piano sitting in the open terminal. He sits down on the bench and starts playing right away without looking at any sheet music. The song he performs is ‘Desire’ by the contemporary composer Tony Ann.
His small hands fly across the black and white keys as soft melodic chords ring out through the giant hallway. At first people just keep walking past with their luggage, but soon his smooth playing starts catching everyone’s attention.
Airline workers in uniform slow down their steps and tired travelers pull out their cell phones to record the sweet moment.
The whole terminal changes tone within just a couple minutes as the melodious notes play. Travelers who were feeling stressed or tired from long flight delays suddenly have bright big smiles on their faces.
By the time he plays those last quiet notes a huge circle of strangers stops to give him a big round of applause and warm cheers.
