Dallas teen will lead the Young Performer's Orchestra playing her great-grandfather's 220 year old violin. ('ware the pop-up ads).

It's stories like this that give me hope that beauty and goodness still exist among the ugliness that we see every day in the world. There are so many wonderful things here - she will be the first Steiner to be a concert-master in 70 years. Her great-grandfather's violin has been passed on to her for the honor - so in a way, it gets to "live" again. And this quotation from Rachel:

"When I play, I do kind of feel him ... just watching me or helping me get something in tune. I guess he kind of helps me."

Yes. Amen.
