Three LDS teens with Down syndrome have taken the internet by storm this week, with a beautiful rendition of Disney’s “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana.
Pianists Cambria (16), Joby (16), and Kiley (17), performed a breathtaking rendition of the song, arranged by LDS pianist and entertainer Jason Lyle Black.
Black arranged the music for the girls, making the video a first in YouTube history, as the first piano trio consisting entirely of members with Down syndrome. The video was released in October to coincide with Down Syndrome Awareness month.
Previously, Black made headlines with a music video of Frozen and of Pixar’s UP, filmed with his grandparents for their 60th wedding anniversary. Black also reached #1 on iTunes and #2 on the Billboard charts with his album of original music, Piano Preludes.
As of this afternoon, “How Far I’ll Go—A Special Piano Trio for Down Syndrome Awareness” already has over 150,000 views on Facebook, with a separate YouTube version having just been released.
