[OriginalMoonbeam]

this piece is gorgeous and she plays it divinely...

[baerfas]

not gonna lie...she has got to be the most attractive female violinist (that's famous).

[MssFlautista]

@dimsimlord thank you so much for that.. seriously.

[dimsimlord]

who cares what she looks like, she's a musician not a model

[ChessGM1]

@travonprince Sarah is a good violinist, not great and certainly not pretty at all. She is built like a tank. She is anything but elegant. I've seen her twice live and let me tell you, she looks like a roly-poly. Check out her Meditation de Thais video...
