I've been playing violin for over 30 years. I will tell you, going from one Violin to someone else's that you've never played before... is not that simple. It's a lot like getting into a new car for the first time. The brakes catch differently, the acceleration off idle is different, and the handling is different. A violin is absolutely the same. The tone, the weight, the balance of the violin in your hand... not to mention the tension and feel of the strings, it's all different. This was really something else to be able to just keep going like this.

The performance is amazing and the swap was awesome, but I'd just like to point out here, that the first chair violinist kept playing, even with the violin with a broken string. That's skill right there.

Very nice! This reminds me of a concert by high school students from Perth, Australia when they were doing a concert in Milan, Italy in 2019. The soloist's string broke and the second violinist picked up the solo while the first switched instruments. It went very smoothly with the orchestra not missing a beat. The second chair got just as big an applause at the end for his effort to continue the piece. And there was much laughter after!

She reacted really well. I actually know someone who this happened to... He just swore at everyone and trashed the whole place, even gave the conductor a good hiding before calling him an 'over glorified metronome'. He then spontaneously hit out at some members of the audience with his Prada slippers and shouted, "how's that for keeping ****ing time!" Many careers ended that fateful day. Much better was her response imho.

The Hero was 1st chair. When there isn't a soloist, he's the top man (well, apart from the conductor). When there's a soloist, he's there to support the soloist, and to jump in if the soloist is unable to play (faints or no show). She was able to play, just lacking a string. It's a no brainer for him, you hand over your violin. And it's a no brainer for her as he probably has the best violin on the stage beside hers! Yes, I think he did play a bit on hers after they swapped, the soloist was playing all the high notes, so it's possible he didn't even need that E string for the backing parts.

The role is called 'Concertmaster' (or 1st Chair in some countries) who is also the leader of the 1st violin section. Asides from the fact that he's probably the most competent player in the orchestra, this is the standard protocol to swap out your violin w/ the soloist when this happens. In this video, it was towards the end of the act, so he didn't bother to get it fixed. But if it was at the beginning, he's suppose to pass it over to the back and someone will go back to the waiting room to fix it and bring it back to the soloist before the next song begins, so that s/he can continue w/ the next one with his/her own violin.

This is such a wonderful and joyous performance, and says a lot about the artistry of live music in general. I feel like often people on the Internet check out random videos like this because they want to see somebody fail. Every one of those concertgoers wanted to see her succeed, and was overjoyed and entertained when she did. That to me is the better side of humanity for sure. And while this performance might not ever make it onto a classical CD, where perfection is demanded, this to me feels like what music is really all about.

a perfect example of professionalism! she didn't drag the situation out and took care of things. props!

I wouldn’t say it’s embarrassing? She has the talent and everyone there knows it. A string snapped, it happens. What I applaud is how she handled it, but I think a lot of people with experience would do the same.

I like when professional musicians handle "snafus" in a calm manner. Outside of classical music, I remember the guitarist for the prog rock band Rush broke a string mid-song years ago. He calmly stepped over to the nearby keyboard and continued the chord progression on keys for a few moments until a crew member was able to bring him a new guitar. I doubt any non-musicians even noticed that it was a mistake.

Brilliant! Kristine you have my vote!!!

That's the conductor. The whole orchestra follows him, and he was following his star. When the string popped he stopped, and the orchestra followed his instruction. From the middle of an orchestra it's impossible to hear the sound of the whole song so the players are trained to follow that lead, and in this case the mechanism worked brilliantly.
