4yr Old Piano Prodigy
October 13, 2021 5:21 amThe youngest winner of one of the world’s most prestigious music competitions can’t claim her prize—playing piano at Carnegie Hall—because she’s too young to get the vaccine.
4-year-old Brigitte Xie just started playing piano a year ago, but her parents soon found she could read music and play a perfect rendition of Beethoven’s Sonatina in F Major—her feet dangling far above the pedals.
She won first place at the American Protégé International Competition, which gets her an invitation to perform at world-renowned Carnegie Hall in New York this November, but all performers are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Fortunately, she’ll be given the chance to perform at a future concert in 2022.
