Meet Viola Mum: She plays in the New York Phil
mainRebecca Young, associate principal violist of the NY Philharmonic, is earning fame on teenaged media TikTok under the rubric ‘Viola Mom’.
Well, everybody needs one.
Her colleagues are lending support.
Watch.
@ry_violamomPeter and the Wolf, in under a minute! #nyphil #prokofiev #funny #fast #music
this is why i never like weddings because iam usually seated
next to somebody speaking like this lady on my table
Trust me when I tell you none of the people at the table enjoy sitting next to you either.
not true. apart from my wife people find me a
funny man
Cute and clever!
That was really good 😀
The cat stole the show!
Yes bravo to the cat – very few cats have this one’s timing and sense of the dramatic.
I never before focused on just how much Prokofiev was wasting our time.
Fabulous!!
Blyat!
Hilarious and delightful!
Keep ’em coming, Rebecca!
I don’t really consider NY Phil a top orchestra in the world or even the U.S. Many musicians and pianists will agree with me.
Jussi, it’s a Tik Tok, for God’s sake. It was made by a musician who happens to belong to NYPhil & her friends because they are literally out of work right now.
No one cares what you think about the NY Phil & this is hardly the moment to express your opinion.
Do you think that by criticizing them you are somehow superior? No, you are just mean and ignorant. Reading between the lines of what you’ve written, anyone who refers to “musicians” and “pianists” as separate entities as you’ve done, is just a blathering idiot.
Nicely put Rodrigo
Loved this! Kudos to you and the rest of the gang. Great back up group: I miss you all.
Becky , you are a wonder and a total delight . Viola Mom forever (bratsche)
Your imagination and creativity know no bounds. I play viola and just got my 6 year old grandson started on violin. We love your videos!
