Although Denis Robinson is 91-years-old, he still likes to show off his musical talent in public. Recently, the city of London decided to place pianos in some of its tube stations for public use. As a lifetime resident of London, England, Denis welcomed this change. He has been playing at his St. Pancras station for many years.

Most commuters are too busy to pay attention to Denis as he gracefully approaches the public piano.

After all, not many 91-year-olds are as talented as Denis.

Once he reaches the piano, Denis takes a deep breath and begins playing. The crowd that was previously hustling by begins to slow down and listen to the beautiful music. There is still a frantic movement to their step, however.

All of this changed when Denis was accompanied by a professional singer and actress.

Ceilie O'Connor is a professional performer who works with the touring company called "Cats". The company was playing international shows and was in London at the time. Ceili happened to be walking through Denis' train station with a group of her colleagues and friends.

Matthew Rowland, a fellow performer who plays Skimbleshanks in the show, pulled out his mobile phone to record the beautiful event that unfolded in front of him.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Denis.

Ceile instantly recognized the 91-year-old's talent for the piano. In "Cats", Ceili plays multiple roles and has some significant singing parts. She has a powerful voice that she controls effortlessly. Her resume has enough pizzazz to make any major pop singer blush.

On this random afternoon, she decided to share her talent with everyone passing in the subway in combination with Denis' piano playing.

She slowly approached the piano and rested her hand on Dens' shoulder. A small crowd started forming as Ceile sang 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. The crowd stood in awe at the miraculous combination of Ceile's powerful vocals and Denis' raw piano talent.

What made the moment even more special was its serendipitous nature.

The two didn't even plan the performance that captured so much attention and applause. The video was shared on social media immediately afterward. The video has since gone viral, and has been viewed over 700 000 times!

Denis' was finally gaining the recognition that he deserved. The powerful performance can be found on nearly every social media platform.
