In the middle of a supermarket, two renowned violinists were deep in improvisation when a 13-year-old child suddenly stepped forward. He asked, “May I play Vivaldi with you?” The musicians exchanged startled glances—even seasoned pros found Vivaldi difficult to work with. However, as soon as the child picked up his violin and played the first note, it was as though time stopped.
He was channeling something bigger and more timeless than just playing. Like a young Beethoven brought back to life, his fingers moved fluidly over the strings, producing works of art in the most unlikely places. The store was transformed into a massive performance stage, leaving shoppers speechless. Everyone in the store cheered when the last note was played. The world, what about it? Within two days, more than 23 million people saw the magic.
A 13-year-old piano prodigy named Lucas Chiche has recently mesmerized crowds with spontaneous concerts in public spaces. His spontaneous playing at a supermarket transformed a routine shopping trip into a fantastic musical experience in one particularly noteworthy instance.
Chiche has given performances at esteemed locations all over the world, such as the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Victoria Hall in Geneva, and the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow. He has played with renowned orchestras conducted by Maestro Vladimir Spivakov, including the Moscow Virtuosi, the CMG Symphony Orchestra, Divertimento, the Svetlanov Orchestra, and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Masterclasses with well-known artists like Mikhail Marchenko, Nelson Goerner, and Elisabeth Leonskaja have also improved his artistic maturity and talent.
