Violinist hula hoops while playing Paganini
One violinist and her hula hoop, in a galvanising display of gymnastics and musicianship.
When times are hard, musicians somehow manage to be a constant source of joy and wonder.
German violinist Caroline Adomeit posted a video to Facebook (watch above) in which she plays a passage of Paganini, while recording on loop pedal and spinning a hula-hoop around her waist.
Just imagine being able to play left-hand pizzicato full-stop – LET ALONE simultaneously and successfully keeping a hula hoop in flight.

The wondrous marriage that is Paganini and hula hooping was inspired by a video from TwoSetViolin in which Brett and Eddy are joined by virtuoso violinist Hilary Hahn, who absolutely whooped them at the now-viral concert challenge.
Caroline, who has more than 100,000 followers on Facebook, captioned her post: “As these are quite challenging times, I hope this little loop encore is entertaining to you the Paganini way.”
We bow down to Caroline’s pizzicato, and hooping, skills.
