Daniel Bernard Roumain (speaking to the audience from the stage): You know when I was growing up I wanted my violin to sound like a bass guitar.
I wanted my violin to sound like an electric guitar.
I wanted my violin to sound like a turntable.
I wanted my violin to scream.
I wanted my violin to laugh.
You know I wanted my violin to be like a drum.

Can’t wait to see this! Great for arts programming in schools.
Dr. Roumain played at our school. It was one of the best experiences in my 30 years at the school.
I love this. I’m a violinist myself…play multiple genres of it: jazz, blues, hip hop,…classical. Basically…I was very much like Daniel… “I wanted my violin to sound like ____” or create it’s own unique sound. I’m glad to see a roomful of youth inspired.

Truly an incredible performer. Saw him perform at Vanderbilt U in 2003 and met after the performance. Very invigorating show by a very gracious man. Can’t wait to see again and hear perform. The experience one should see, feel, smell, taste and hear!
This was absolutely amazing. I myself am actually an orthodontist, and i thought this was very inspiring. So, now i am directing my life to simply violin. I am playing on the streets and it hasn’t been going the best. I’ve lost my right arm by a couple of drivers running off of the road so now i have no career. Please pray.
Sincerely,
Bob Martin
