Deaf Girl Performs with Symphony Orchestra Philadelphia- A 29 year old deaf girl tried to live out her dream of performing a violin solo with the Philly orchestra. She had been deaf from birth, and strongly wanted to play professional violin. She was encouraged by her teacher, Dr. Schlif Verchasct, a teacher from Vienna, Austria. Although she cannot hear, the vibrations from the floor allow her to "feel" the music. Unfortunately, things are not always picturebook perfect, and the deaf musician began her first tune completely out of key. The sound was so bad that the audience began leaving the auditorium. The conductor began to giggle and many of the other musicians joined in. A reporter described the sound as "something a cat would make if you set it on fire." Then the girl began another Bach piece despite the fact that the rest of the orchestra was performing Beethoven. After 15 minutes of torturous sounds, the conductor strode off the stage and asked for a double scotch to regain his nerves. When asked about her performance during intermission the girl looked at the reporter and asked "what?".
