And in particular, he&#8217;s talking about\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jihaepark.com\/\" >Ji-Hae Park<\/a>, who now\u00a0takes the TED stage to wow us with her violin-based virtuosity. &#8220;Classical music can rock you!&#8221; she announces proudly.<\/p>\n<p>Between songs, Ji-Hae talks about her own struggle with depression &#8212; and how she began to play music in churches, nursing homes, anywhere but the concert hall. &#8220;It set me free from the pressure of becoming a successful violinist,&#8221; she says &#8212; though she&#8217;s certainly become one of those too. As Chris says, her emotions come through in every note. &#8220;Do you feel like you&#8217;re all alone?,&#8221; she asks the audience. &#8220;I hope this piece will touch and heal your heart as it did for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tedconfblog.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/02\/ted2013_0045405_d41_8001.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71359 aligncenter\" alt=\"TED2013_0045405_D41_8001\" src=\"http:\/\/tedconfblog.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/02\/ted2013_0045405_d41_8001.jpg?w=900&#038;h=606&#038;fit=900%2C606&#038;resize=780%2C525\" width=\"780\" height=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<br \/>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tedconfblog.wordpress.com\/70238\/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/tedconfblog.wordpress.com\/70238\/\" \/><\/a> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?resize=1%2C1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/TEDBlog\/~4\/_kURQf6fiYc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos: James Duncan Davidson &#8220;The TED Salon in Seoul was lit up by this performer, by her extraordinary passion for her music,&#8221; says TED curator Chris Anderson by way of introduction.
