The vibrant Valentina Lisitsa, a stunning virtuosic pianist, has become the first classical musician to achieve fame via YouTube, emulating Justin Bieber's achievement in the pop world. Having amassed an impressive 43 million views on her channel, Valentina was then in the unique position of going straight to one of the world's leading concert venues for her central London debut...
A fantastic feat considering this staggering musician had previously only given a solo concert in a village church in Perivale. To her surprise it was overflowing with fans she had gathered online, so she took the next brave step and approached one of the UK's biggest concert halls for her major unveiling to the greater public at large. Impressed by her YouTube success and in an unprecedented step, the Royal Albert Hall welcomed the young musician to perform there.
