How captivating can a random performance be, especially when it brings together two generations? The English citizens were treated to a mesmerizing collaboration between a talented street pianist named Brendan and a very young girl named Zoe a few years ago.
If you haven’t heard of Brendan yet, he’s a popular piano teacher and performer with a YouTube channel that has over 2.1 million followers. He’s known for his performances at open venues with public pianos, such as London Central Station. While he specializes in Boogie Woogie, he incorporates elements of classical, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, and various other genres into his music.
Brendan was playing music from the movie Mary Poppins on a public piano at a London train station when a little girl dressed in yellow suddenly appeared. This 6-year-old girl started dancing along to Brendan’s music in the middle of a shopping center, and he decided to increase the tempo.
The little dancer really got into her groove, attracting a crowd of people who gathered to watch this beautiful musical moment unfold. The video of this spontaneous performance went viral, reaching almost 11 million people who were captivated by the talent of this brave young girl and her incredible piano player.

More than 5 thousands of viewers commented, applauding this special collaboration.
One YouTube viewer wrote, “I have seen so many of your videos with people joining you playing the piano, but this one HAS to be the cutest. That six year old girl is the ABSOLUTE incarnation of Mary Poppins’ innocence and good beliefs. This video brought warmth to my heart–And it is needed in today’s times–similar to Shirley Temple’s feel-good influence back in the day. Congrats. Loved it.”
