Imagine discovering a hidden musical talent. Some might rush to share it with the world, while others might guard it like a secret treasure. The principal of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf School of Music chose to share it.

He noticed a rare gift in young Akim Camara and knew it was something worth showcasing. So, he contacted renowned Dutch violinist André Rieu, confident that Akim’s talent was exceptional for his age.

When Rieu met Akim, he was amazed by the child’s violin skills and decided to mentor him. Akim’s rapid progress soon turned him into a rising star. Rieu even invited him to perform at his studio in Maastricht, where Akim’s playing moved the orchestra, leading to a chance to perform at a future concert.

During the André Rieu Live in New York City concert, Akim’s extraordinary ability to memorize entire pieces after hearing them only once or twice stunned the audience. Playing the complex “Dance of the Fairies” at Radio City Music Hall, Akim’s performance captivated the room, leaving everyone in awe of his passion and talent.
