A hesitant young boy’s amazing performance of “Ave Maria” on a public piano has gone viral on the internet in a touching and wonderful moment. Viewers all across the world have been moved to tears by the heartwarming performance, which was uploaded by @dylanbhmusic. His unadulterated skill and the small venue make for an absolutely remarkable experience.

The boy’s soulful and pure voice fills the clip, and the audience goes silent as he sings the first few notes of Ave Maria. An aura of unadulterated emotion is produced by his fragility and the richness of his voice. The context of his performance is particularly poignant—he is singing in a public place while strangers observe and listen closely, yet it still feels intimate and personal.

The boy’s initial shyness adds to the poignancy of the situation. He is obviously anxious, but as he goes on, his love for the music takes over. His strong vocals appear to have a profound effect on everyone in his vicinity, as many bystanders are clearly impacted and crying.
