The enchanting sounds rang out, and as the rhythm gradually picked up, the music intricately climbed towards the high notes, causing the listener's mood to surge and dip along with the delightful melody. The emotion transitioned from soft to strong, like a tranquil silence and then suddenly an angry shout, ending finally in a gentle coda that seemed to bring people back into a faint sadness.
As the music ceased, the venue fell utterly silent. Belinda Howard put down her violin, not even daring to breathe too heavily.
Why so quiet? Could it be that her performance wasn't good enough?
Just as she held her breath, somewhat at a loss, applause that seemed almost half a beat late suddenly erupted, filling the room with noise!
Down below, Anthony Chambers and Eduardo Ino also gave her a round of enthusiastic applause, while Audrey Jenkins, standing to the side, hadn't expected her violin to sound so exquisite, and couldn't help but cheer for her too!
