He has graduated from the “prodigy” to a refined artist Bravo!

[@bertybundela9642]

A lot of smart people have noticed this is a youth orchestra. I'm hugely impressed by their passion and thinking how much inspiration they are drawing from this experience. Bravo all involved, and huge love to Kerson for this stunning performance.

[@SleepDisorderedBreathing]

LOVE HOW CONFIDENT HE IS, AND HE'S GOT STYLE, LOOK WHAT HE'S WEARING!!! YOU GO KERSON!!!

[@marcvilleneuve1889]

His vibrato is so amazing and colorful. His bowing: complete freedom. His interpretation and musicianship equals greatness and integrity. Beautiful and inspiring.❤

[@alyssah2932]

the cadenzaaaa ugh the confidence the technique the expression etc etc was so amazing. I love how the orchestra was so memorized loll I would be too if I was right there.

[@ronlavallee112]

I am an older violinist 70. I have studied to grade 10. I love the violin. I still have miles to go and will play as long as I can. I did not have opportunity when I was young as my family was not well soI started when I 20 as I worked to pay for lessons.I am most impressed by your honesty and simple manner and most all how you present things about being a violinist in your videos . Thanks so much for being so genuine and sincere and helpful to us who also struggle in our own work with violin. Congrats.

[@dakleik]

Thanm you for your inspiration. You’re truly a wonderful musician. You deserve better orchestras

[@lessandro99]

Such control and expression. Man, this is really outstanding.

[@alraxalrax8246]

Marvellous violonist, artist and teacher!

[@chiyeh]

Quickly becoming one of my favorites. Challenging the ranks of the all-time greats, in my opinion. Hope to see in person some day.

[@genetung8590]

The intensity and technique is riveting to watch.

[@garysimkins2179]

the fact that you look at your audience is so very important. You as a soloist are connecting me to your experience and I thank you for that. You are an amazing artist Sir.

[@alraxalrax8246]

How lucky were these young musicians to play with such a wonderful artist!

[@FeliciaMirage]

I’ve been trying to find my favourite interpretation of this concerto for awhile...and now I have found it. Thank you, Kerson! I was cheering at my phone screen throughout this entire performance. Brilliant artistry!!!

[@noelleyang8147]

[@sweetlittlelies7317]

I love your interpretation for this piece. I think this is my favorite.

[@chrish5425]

Truly fantastic! It is always a blessing to hear you play; thank you!

[@DevilViolinist]

Mr Leong! A masterful performance of this concerto and the style to match - can I please ask who made your concert attire? I assume it is tailored because it fits perfectly! :) I love your performances, the Guarneri sounds amazing in your hands!

[@KersonLeong]

This outfit was a collab between me and my mum - she was an award-winning fashion designer in her youth.

[@DevilViolinist]

@@KersonLeong It's beautiful. You've brought even more creativity to the stage ! The design reminds me of royalty, but very subtle, and I think it combines with the romantic repertoire nicely :)

[@alicechan1960]

OMG I want to listen to the whole concerto!

[@lemonqueend7679]

OMU Kerson, u sound like a true confident artist

[@milcarlaymeajacopa9235]

[@Tmason47]

You do amazing bow work

[@seegeeaye]

as I watching his performance, I forget to go for my breakfast

[@AnaSilva-nl9kv]

you make it seem easy

[@wiltonpt1]

Is he distracted? If he is...it doesn't do a thing for him...he can play it just as well!

[@yunsiklee7317]

👍👍👍 Awesome!!!!!

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

7:49 to 8:40 ... not a full minute... yet it's the part I love the most where I imagine dancing in a ballroom with Kerson. Just us. Roses and candles all around us :)

[@lemonqueend7679]

He knows he's good. I wonder if he'll grow out of it.

[@aksuli1]

I wonder how pricey violin and bow he's using...

[@antoniovivaldirv5319]

[@akrishnaa]

They played just the first movement - short concert w the Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra. Kerson Ysaye encore was to die for! I hope it has also been uploaded; I’m going to look for it.

[@eyarhgaohayli7329]

With all due respect to the orchestra , but it is not at the required level compared to your performance, the rhythm is not exact, and the accompaniment is also.. There is even some musical sentence that is not clear.. there is no response with the conductor .. Other than that you show your high potential above all this 🌷🌷💯

[@jeanparke9373]

Top soloist with a very mediocre orchestra and a conductor who has no clue how to handle this work... kinda sad to watch.

[@benoitpaul1931]

It's a Youth Orchestra

[@sweetlittlelies7317]

don't be too harsh man, there's no need for that

[@userkk757]

shut up

[@Nobleman26]

VERY POOR RECORDING, LOST ALL THE TREBLE SOUND !

[@powerofalto]

A fabulous soloist and an utterly mediocre conductor/orchestra. Who was the genius who thought having 12+ cellos was a good idea for a concerto performance? Nevertheless the soloist sounds magnificent. Such a beautiful tone!

[@KhoaTheKoalaMan]

powerofalto Keep in mind that it’s a youth orchestra with kids as young as 14. It’s not a professional orchestra with players that have been playing with decades worth of experience lol

[@BluePiano1]

[@unworthy1582]

Its time to get right with Jesus. nobody is automatically gonna go to heaven at the end of it, we all have lied or stolen or had sex before marriage and the punishment is hell. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of future sins if you repent of them once you commit them, so you receive the gift of forgiveness by following him. When you start you have to stop sinning, and follow his word and obey it. That’s following Jesus. Read your Bible

[@deepdark795]

this is a dreadful youth orchestra

[@mrswag535]

I thought they sounded great for a youth orchestra. They definitely sound much better than my old youth orchestra.

[@BluePiano1]

@@mrswag535 thanks

[@allthingstravon21]

Amazing playing but for some reason it bothers me when he looks around at the crowd while playing rather than closing his eyes and getting lost in the music. It's almost as if he's looking out to see the crowd's reaction in real time as he plays lol

[@giorgoskarvelas7782]

Bravo!!!
