You may never have  heard  the full rendition of Il Silenzio, otherwise  known as  "Taps". This is  a most beautiful  rendition. The girl's name is   Melissa Venema  and is playing with maestro Andre Rieu from Maastriecht in the Netherlands . She is 13  and has been  performing for years. This performance is in 2008 Masstriecht where  city officials sealed off the town square  and closed everything down  so they get perfect noise control.
All of you will appreciate such talent from such a 13 year old young lady. It is a wonderful performance.
What a gifted young  lady! Flawless performance!
