15-year-old violinist Benjamin Rosenthal from Damariscotta, Maine, performs Baal Shem, B.47 – II. Nigun by Ernst Bloch with pianist Eva Kaminsky. When he isn’t playing the violin, Benjamin can be found cooking Mediterranean cuisine among other hobbies. Enjoy his performance as it unfolds like a fine, multi-course meal for the ears!
This performance is part of From the Top’s special episode featuring musicians from rural backgrounds.
Music has the unique ability to bring joy to our lives – especially in the hands of young people. Daily Joy is a reminder of music’s power to uplift, inspire, and unite.
Daily Joy is a project of From the Top. It began in the very early days of the Covid-19 pandemic and continues today to offer a much-needed respite from the anxiety and worry that we encounter in the world.
From the Top is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating the stories and artistry of young musicians through media and leadership programs. Learn more.
