Opera 2 by Afanasy Prokhorov
I was floored when I first watched this video. So drop-down, say-wow, amazed I could only listen and let the music wash over me - raising goosebumps along the way.
12 year old Afanasy performs classical, Broadway, country, and pop renditions in six languages. He is the main soloist of “Lucky Ten” - a Boston based childrens vocal and dance ensemble. He has received many awards including the Grand Prix prize at the 2010 Caribbean Gold International Festival. (source).
There are several videos featuring Afanasy on YouTube. Some of my favourites are:
You Raise Me Up - Afanasy Prokhorov
“Funiculi Funicula” - Lucky Ten (Boys)
One of the joys of following young talent is discovering someone you have never heard of before. It’s even more fun when you know you’ll be a fan for a long time.
