Check out this extremely precious video of young people performing together in a public shopping center. Young violinists mesmerize with a stunning ‘A Thousand Years’ duet.

As this performance begins, we see seasoned teenager Karolina Protsenko alongside the young Emily Minko. Emily is only 8-years-old. Karolina tells Emily that she has not played this song in a while, and when she begins to play, Emily says, “Yes,” in response to confirm that was the song she wanted her to play. The little girl asks if she can play with Karolina. She goes to get her violin from her mother. The two of them then have their violins in hand, ready to go. The duo begin their performance. The crowds gather around from all ages at the outdoor shopping center.

Emily begins and does a phenomenal job. Karolina starts to play harmonies with Emily and accompanies her beautifully. Suddenly, in the second verse, a little boy brings up a small tambourine and plays alongside the girls. Karolina dances and plays. At the next chorus, an even younger boy joins in with his guitar. It is a precious moment seeing all of these sweet young children performing with Karolina. She is encouraging the next generation to embrace music and passing along the torch of a love for music just like she was given by those who mentored and invested in her life.

Watching this video reminds us of the importance of sharing Christ with the next generation so that they can know about the hope that we have in Him. We welcome the young people around us and encourage them in their lives to have genuine relationships with God and live life for His glory.
