While the title of today’s piece translates to “Love’s Sorrow,” we can’t help but find the joy in this young violinist’s beautiful performance.
For today’s Daily Joy, we’re sharing 14-year-old violinist Bianca Ciubancan’s touching performance of Kreisler’s “Liebeslied.”
Chicago, Illinois Bianca performed on Show 386 in Beverly Hills, California on March 4, 2020.
Bianca Ciubancan (violin), 14, lives in Chicago, Illinois where she is in eighth grade at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School. She studies violin in the DePaul University Pre-College Program with Corina Lobont. Bianca is also in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. Her proudest musical achievement has been winning first prize in her category at the 2019 International Arthur Grumiaux Competition in Brussels. In her spare time, Bianca loves to bake, read, dance, sing, learn languages, and spend time with her family and dog.
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.
