Classical music filling the bustling subway station broke through invisible barriers, bringing people together through the most genuine of human emotions. In April 2012, the Copenhagen Phil (Zealand Symphony Orchestra) surprised passengers on the Copenhagen Metro with a flash mob performance of "Peer Gynt" by Edvard Grieg. The performance was organized in collaboration with Radio Klassisk, with all the music performed and filmed live inside the subway.

Lucy, an incredible 15-year-old blind and neurodivergent pianist from Yorkshire, performed Bach’s beautiful “Prelude in C” alongside her teacher, Daniel, before an audience of 6,000 at the Royal Albert Hall. Bach himself might have shed tears if he had lived to hear her perform this piece. Tears of amazement. Tears for a young girl who lives with blindness yet has been blessed with a soul that expresses such beauty through her music.

In July 2013, Japanese blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii performed Franz Liszt’s “La Campanella” as an encore at BBC Proms, one of the largest classical music festivals in the United Kingdom. Tsujii’s performance captivated the audience and earned him a standing ovation. His appearance also received widespread praise from critics writing for major British newspapers. It is hard to imagine that Franz Liszt could ever have envisioned his music being performed with such extraordinary skill by a pianist who was completely blind. If he had the chance to hear this performance, surely he would have been delighted and eager to step onto the stage to embrace and congratulate this gifted musician.
