Chapter 864 Praises All Around
Soon, the practice room was gradually filled with a lively melody. As each member of Group Six brought their best foot forward, they demonstrated to everyone the results of their team efforts. With the melody steadily growing aggressive, the audience was blown away by their imposing performance.
Standing at the center of the stage, Tessa did not immediately begin her performance, as she started playing her violin only when the performance reached its second theme. Though the tune of the violin was heart-touching and beautiful to those it touched, it naturally blended well with the group’s melody. Focused on the strings of her violin on stage, Tessa made wonderful, heart-moving tunes each time her slender fingers plucked the violin strings in succession and fascinated the audience.
Naturally, her musical style was highly distinctive as well. Unlike Susan’s style where it would overshadow and even disrupt the harmony of the whole melody, Tessa’s style of playing was akin to a shepherd trying to lead the entire orchestra from the front seat.
Even though Tessa had never practiced with the members of Group Six, their chemistry was undeniable. In conclusion, the performance here was very much successful to the extent that it would not be a lie to say that it was a performance to die for.
Under the stage, Kellen finally understood the reason Sofia had taken Tessa under her wing as he looked at Tessa who was radiant with confidence. “This junior of mine does have a trick or two up her sleeves. Miss Sofia, your insight is as sharp as ever!” He praised Tessa without mincing his words and flattered his mentor while he was at it.
Standing beside him, Jenny nodded approvingly before she said with a smile, “I’ve once seen her performance when she was still with Hathaway Philharmonic. Back then, she was just as agile and skilled. However, she was not as experienced in her performance as she was today. She has really improved a lot since then.” After that, she went on to compliment Sofia as well. “Honestly, this is all thanks to you, Miss Sofia. Your training has boosted Tessa’s overall performance.”
Daniela also nodded in agreement. “I’m now looking forward to the day when Miss Sofia has thoroughly tempered Tessa’s overall ability. I wonder just what kind of surprise she would show us then.”
Listening to those under her wing singing praises for Tessa, Sofia looked at Tessa with a satisfied expression. “Tessa does have the tendency of surprising others. I am looking forward to seeing what she’ll achieve in the future as well.” Then, she paused briefly before she turned her head slightly to Kellen and said, “If you’re planning to choose someone to be the concertmaster of Group Six, I would suggest for that person’s musical style to be just like Tessa’s. Not only would it be compatible with the orchestra, but it would also show off its distinctiveness as well.”
“I will keep that in mind, Miss Sofia.” Kellen nodded to confirm he understood what Sofia was telling him.
As the audience slowly came back from their senses during Group Six’s performance, each and every one of them became in awe of Tessa.
“Just as expected of the ‘Virtuoso.’ She’s just too amazing.”
“I’ve heard her performance before when she was still with the Hathaway Philharmonic. But, I’ve always felt that there was something lacking in her performance. Now, I think she’s perfect.”
“No wonder Sofia took her under her wing. Tessa’s skills would make anyone jealous.”
“Rumors say that she has only been learning from Sofia for less than a month. I wonder how terrifying she would be after Sofia’s done training her.”
“I’m already looking forward to that day.”
Listening to everyone showering praises over his mother, Gregory puffed his chest out proudly. Mommy is amazing. There are so many people that’ve been saying good things about her. One day, I’ll be just as good as Mommy is, so she’ll be proud of me too. Thinking that, he looked at the stage with his eyes lit, and thought to himself just how beautiful his mother was right now.
On the other side of the room, Susan, who was also performing right now, was bewildered as she looked at the radiant Tessa from a short distance away. She couldn’t accept how Tessa had improved by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time. As a result, she started playing several wrong notes.
