This girl is amazing:

Star pianist Lang Lang was rendered speechless during an episode of The Piano, after 13-year-old Lucy took to the piano in Leeds City Railway Station with a captivating performance of Chopin’s Nocturne in B flat minor.

Lucy, who is blind and neurodivergent, is taking part in Channel 4’s brand new television show, The Piano – a search for the nation’s best amateur pianists.

Whether it's the flawless performance, the amazement of Lucy's skill - especially considering her challenges, or just the look on Lang Lang's face as he tries to wrap his head around what he is witnessing, it is impossible to watch this without having some emotion bubbling up.
