- "There are no words to describe how much I love this piece by my favorite band of all time, Queen. It is truly a masterpiece and a staple of musical existence. To challenge myself, I decided to tackle this monster of a piece arranging it only for voice and violin............MAN WAS THAT A CHALLENGE! Nothing beats or will ever come close to Queen's original rendition of their song, but as I always say, here is my effort to please. I hope I make you proud up there Freddie!"

About me:
Described by the Boston Globe as one who "plays classical violin with the charisma of a rock star", Juilliard graduate Charles Yang began his violin studies with his mother in Austin, Texas, and has since studied with world-renowned pedagogues Kurt Sassmanshaus, Paul Kantor, Brian Lewis and Glenn Dicterow. He has performed as a soloist with orchestras and in recitals in the United States, ...Europe, Brazil, Russia, China, and Taiwan, and is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. On June 9th of 2005, the Mayor of Austin presented Mr. Yang with his own "Charles Yang Day". Mr. Yang has been a frequent guest on the Emmy Award winning PBS show From the Top, and has also been heard on National Public Radio in Washington, DC and Boston.
Not only confined to classical violin, Mr. Yang's improvisational crossover abilities as a violinist, vocalist, and guitarist have led him to performances with a variety of artists in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln center, Long Center, The Royal Danish Theatre, Highline Ballroom, David Rubinstein Atrium, Ars Nova, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Forbidden City in Beijing among others. He has performed in the presence of two former US Presidents and the Queen of Denmark. Recent notable engagements include a concert at the United Nations, an appearance alongside ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro at the fifth E.G. Conference in Monterey, California, a performance with Guitarhero and Rockband creator, Eran Egozy at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, duet with renowned dancer Marcelo Gomes on his new piece, "Paganini" and as soloist with the Orchestra of St. Lukes in New York. His career has been followed by various news media including The New York Times, The New York Post, Playbill, The Boston Globe, Fortissimo, The Austin-American Statesman, Shenzhen Daily, The Strad, Dallas Daily, Cincinnati Enquirer, and Juilliard Journal. Mr. Yang is featured in Nick Romeo's new book, Driven as well as Discovery Channel's Curiosity.

Fabulous! You make it sound like it was written for you.

I could barely hear the voices over the violins, but it's still so beautiful.
I come back to watch and listen to this over and over. You are an amazing talent, Charles. One of a kind.
Once I collected my jaw from the floor, I used it to bite my hand, while I wept openly.
BRAVO! ...è il più bravo della classe !!!
Every time I watch this, I'm awed by your genius. Thanks, Charles, for sharing your gift.
I had the pleasure of working with Charles Yang for a couple days on a documentary shoot a few years ago when he was still in high school. His talent was quite obvious then, and has only grown. Well done, Charles!

My introduction to this tune.
Well done!

Amazing rendition of this masterpiece of music. The only thing I would say is to bring the vocals forward in the mix a bit more. Great arrangement, loved it
Spectacular Video. One of the best I've seen on UA-cam. Awesome singing and the musicianship was great. One Question: How do you make the multiple screens of singers and violin players appear in and out at the correct time. Do you use some kind of Green Screen tricks or what? I need to know. I am currently shopping for a good webcam or camcorder {:-)
