This next little big shot has a gift for music that is beyond extraordinary. Violin in hand, she's played all over the world and now she's going to play for you. 10 years old, from Newcastle, it's Leia. Don't you look beautiful? I love your dress. I like your clothes too. Oh thank you very much. Have you got a big wardrobe full of pretty dresses then? Yeah. Have you? Oh you lucky thing. Can I come and try some on? Yeah if they fit you. Yeah frankly they're not going to fit me and that's that. Well you look absolutely beautiful and I love that flower in your hair as well. Thank you. Now I understand that you have played in some astonishing concert halls all around the world. Yes I have. I played in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, Russia, China. That is massively impressive. You've won some competitions haven't you? My first international competition was in Italy when I was six. I won both violin and piano. Also when I was just turned nine, I played in a Nutcracker competition and that competition was really special because I played with the Russian National Orchestra in the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall. It plays no stopping you. It is wonderful. How long have you been playing the violin Leia? I started when I was three and a half. I loved listening to classic music and my mum told me when I was a baby, when she changed the channel to pop or something like that, I would start crying. You wanted it back on the classical music. Yeah. Is your mum here today? Yeah she's over there with my brother and my father. Okay look, look at you there and look at your lovely dress there. So is your violin very, very valuable? Yes. It's made by Carlo Giuseppe Tastori, one of the greatest violin makers and also it is 316 years old. Is it? Yeah. That's even older than me Leia. Yeah. They're like very rare because they're like not many of these in the world. Does it stay in your room at night? It stays in my music room. I see. If it's like has dramatic changes of temperature, it can like go out of tune. If it's like really hot and the wood can crack here. Okay, now I've been struggling with this question in my head. Tell me what's best right? Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Yes. Or Four Seasons Pizza. I would say both. Would you? Equally. Maybe the pizza whilst listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Yeah, let's settle for that shall we? Do you do requests at all? Yeah. So if I were to ask you to play Bring Me Sunshine because I love that. Yeah. Could you do that? Yeah, of course. Yes, thank you so much Leia. Now I would love to see you play the piece that you've come here to play. Well, are you happy to do that for us? Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, Leia.
