Many of our young musicians play multiple instruments, but it’s not often that we see them play those instruments simultaneously!
For today’s Daily Joy, David von Behren has transcribed “Arioso” from Bach’s Cantata No. 156 and is sharing his beautiful performance.
Falls City, Nebraska David von Behren appeared on Show 273, recorded in June 2013, at age 19.
