This may sound kind of bombastic, but it's real. This is a LIVE performance of a 11 yr old playing on several instruments, with no mistake. Couldn't find anything similar yet. Only a few kids on edited videos, but not live. On edited videos someone can play on a hundred instruments, pausing and rehearsing each part. But live video is completely different...
A record of, let's say, highest skateboard jump, would attract one billion views, but in this case very few care. So we need to raise more awareness about good kids in general. See also another song on 12 instruments: youtube.com/watch?v=jjeXVq7Zrxw
Children Medieval Band playing at Big Bear Renaissance Faire in 2013. The song is Mon Amy, by Tielmann Susato at 1550.
The arrangement was made to show Stefan's ability to play on a variety of musical instruments. He is 11 years old now, but a version of this same song has been recorded when he was only 9: youtube.com/watch?v=gSybFyyrbWs
He is an unrecognized world champion as the youngest multi-instrumentalist. This may touch a nerve on some, but it's a fact. There are youngsters recognized as champions at swimming, boxing, karate, skateboard, etc. So why not in this field?
Some will say: yes, but he's not really good on any of these instruments, there are others better than him on violin or guitar, etc. Right, but the point is he can actually play correctly all these instruments during a single song LIVE and there are no other performances of this sort recorded on youtube. When a younger kid will do something similar, until then let Stefan hold the virtual medal.
In fact, it's not about personal fame here, we don't care about medals, just try to advertise medieval music as a better educational tool for kids - for a better world.
Children Medieval Band:
Stefan (11) - multi-instrumentist
Olga (9) - violin
Cornelia (7) - percussion
