YouTube video gets teen invitation to sing on Broadway
A 13 year-old British boy is walking proof of how YouTube can once again change someone’s life. The video Geraint Llyr Owen performing a solo of Pie Jesu was all it took. Producers instantly knew they wanted him to perform the same piece on Broadway.
Officials from Distinguished Concert International contacted the Llandaff Catherdral Choir, where Owen has sung for five years. That’s when they invited him to sing in the Martin Luther King Day concert on January 18th. Owen expressed his reaction, “I have always wanted to see Broadway, but to perform there is a dream come true.”
The concert was originally broadcasted on Welsh-language channel S4C and was then posted on YouTube where it was seen by the concert organizers.
