Thanks for these fun videos. My 8 year old son loves classical, plays violin and is a big fan of yours. You're definitely making an impact on the younger generation. Can't wait for your concert with NCCO. All the best Ray!
He is Taiwanese Australian but he lost Australian English accent , now speaking with American accent !!! Ray , how much money did you make that day ???????
The busking performance: 10/10 The music jokes: Sacrilegious/10 Part of me thought for a second that TwoSet Violin might actually crash your performance. If you end up revisiting the Bay Area, you should try Koi Palace in Daly City near Serramonte Mall. Their Dim Sum is excellent and a favorite for many locals. The Chinese cuisine along the Peninsula (San Mateo County) in my personal opinion is as good as San Francisco.
Saw the concert last night in San Francisco and that was some of the best Mozart playing I've heard in my life. Really great job, and I love your goofy video too.
I love San Francisco!!! I visited their oldest town, Alexandria, the Fisherman's Wharf, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge, their vineyards and wineries, Lombard Street (the most crooked street in the world), and a lot more.
When the video is too old but it's about food and you click on it anyway I loved it ♡ Btw, something like this from lovely Taiwan would be more than welcomed! I never knew what a beautiful place it was until I googled it with a bit more attention the other day. I must admit, I'm smitten. Here in my country there's a Taiwanese community and we've always kind of knew about the country because of commercial relationships, but I don't think its culture is as widespread or as popular as for example that of other Asian countries - Japan, China - whose communities are perhaps bigger in number (in my city at least). Maybe sharing some regional/folk music as well? In collab with someone? That would be so cool. As we say in Argentina, un abrazo che! Saludos!
I have only been to San Francisco once many years ago, but while it wasn't meant to be a travel video (or was it?) you have encouraged me to take "my heart to San Francisco" Thank you, sir! Oh, yes, I love your violin playing you tube videos. Make one of your conducting there in SF. Peace!
Hey Ray! When you get to Lisbon, please make sure to try Macau Dim Sum, it's a delicious chinese place specialized in Dim Sum, and I can garantee you that the shrimp dumplings are delicious :)
Stay motivated to practice! 🎵Join the community and practice together on Tonic tonicmusic.app/join-in
1:58 Bach choy ;)
HIS ACCENT KEEPS CHANGING
He is a chameleon with a violin.
And your problem IS?! 😄
So jealous of those who were there when you were busking!!
does he just bring the strad with him in public places like that or does he carry around a spare when he's not playing concerts?
Kurt S good point
Kurt S That's not the Stradivarious
He needs a "My other violin is a Strad" bumper sticker for the busking violin
Probably a spare because if anything ever happened to his Strad… 😬

Ray seems like that awesome, fun uncle you’d want to hang out with a lot. Love you Ray!
The dim sum looked so good.. My fav part was overhearing people say, "I've seen him on UA-cam!"
Thanks, Ray! More videos, please - always entertaining.

Really like your style. So natural and funny .
Ray Chen is a cutie!!😍🥰
I love how he says "when in doubt, play Bach" as if we mortals could just show off out of nowhere BACH hahahahaha
I looooove dimsum. This makes me sooo hungry.
I love San Francisco!!! I visited their oldest town, Alexandria, the Fisherman's Wharf, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge, their vineyards and wineries, Lombard Street (the most crooked street in the world), and a lot more.

Aww, I'd have sat on that rocklike thing the whole time to listen to him play. And I'm so happy there are no midroll ads in this video.
lol I saw my grandma's house in the video
Congrats on the rave review in the Mercury News! Much deserved. It was a FAN-TAS-TIC evening. And this video is lotsa fun.
Nothing changed from the previous Caieiras face.❤❤❤❤
I love you Ray Chen!
Entertaining, warm and thank you!
Ray always makes my day!

I wish I could have been there to sample those delicious dishes!(SMILE).
A lot of food there, Ray. Thank you for giving us your music.
living the dream! wish I could be in your shoes :)

Wow, Rick Fox was there too! Super dope
I would've given him everything in my wallet. So beautiful
I wanna go to his concert!! or meet him 😊😊😊 if you have chance, plz come to Korea again!!!
So funny and adorable. cute
With the 21.4% Chinese population, Ray easily got a Chinese person as his Chinese Food Sidekick.
*MOAR VIBRATO PLZ*
YUS
The dimsum from Taiwan was the bestest.
Not too shabby, Dragon breath!

Very entertaining video and wonderful playing :-)
Ray, Damm you and your nice looking food I’m so hungry... enjoyed the vid keeping your peeps happy 👌
Nice, I enjoyed watching this.
Opened this video midnight when VERY hungry, which does not make sense at all...
Loved it!!!
Little do the ppl know, that the violin he’s using is a strad which costs MILLIONS of dollars
Haha, guy on the left at 05:11.
BIIIIITCH THAT COPLAND THO MOHHHHHRR
Ray went from playing a $10 million Stradivarius to playing on the streets?
ikr
Bretts Mom: PLAY MORE CHINESE!!!!! UUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
Loved your video! Wish we were in Japantown while you played!!
Bitiful ❤❤❤❤
This would have been a good place for the joshua bell experiment
He's so funny!
Ray plays in some random part of San Francisco, no one bats an eye.
Me: "What is wrong with you people???"
Even Chinese Resto in America serves a hefty and very generous serving.
6:07😂😂😂
6:09 😂😂😂
Love me some panada bears.
I am watching this at midnight because I can't sleep and now I want some dimsum...
Please come to south africa:D we can have a braai (BBQ) and play some amazing music on the beach front
6:10 I wonder how many people turned around to look at you after that
Paralyzed mouth. It sounds like my younger days. We used to call it the Munchies 🤭🤭🤭😁🥳
Ray, say hello to me Brazil.
yo this was hella dope

It's Sarasate's Introduction and Tarantella
Oml i read ur comment as “what’s this species”
now i want to eat
4:58 what is this amazing stuff? 😂🤩 Edit: okay It‘s actually called „dragon breath“. Funny tho 😂
Did anyone see that French inhale Hahahaha. For a second I was convinced Ray Chen mustve smoked weed at some point in his life lolol
6:53 RIP
I wanna try dumplings now.
Wow, love those high notes! (Paganini?)
I'm so confused, is Ray American or Australian
SAME! Good to know I’m not the only one
Australian, but his accent keeps changing depending on where he plays
He belongs to every place and every one! 😃
the food looks rly good omg i'm hungry
Ray should've played Tambourin Chinois!
please come to detroit!!!!!
how long were you in san fran? you have an american accent!
Gah! I wish I was in Japan Town that day!!!
People who dislike your videos are just jealous of you
But where'd you go for dinner? Surely all that busking worked up an appetite... ;-)
Hey, does anybody know the name of the tune he played for a few seconds at 6:08? Does it exist? :P
Michael Connolly it's Toxic by Britney Spears
I shouldn’t be watching this at 1 am bc now I’m hungry but have no way to actually get dim sum :(
Yogurt buffers it with spicy food not water.

Yang Sing = Canton = Guangzhou😆
Siomai rice
Real life Bard
I wonder how the explosive chili pepper compares to a Carolina Reaper pepper?

Your Violin is Stradivari???
Manuel Föhr it's stradivarius, stradivari is the name of the maker :)
Yes it is
