A concert pianist who grew up an atheist is reported to have become a Christian after hearing Vivaldi’s Gloria.
According to the BBC World Service, Yirui Weng, when playing the piano, “felt as if she was in communion with the composer of the piece.” Encountering Vivaldi’s Gloria led to questions such as: Who is the Son of the Father? Why is He called the Lamb of God? Why is He able to take away the sins of the world?
After seeking answers to these questions, Weng was baptised in 2023. “The day after I woke up feeling very grateful. I felt accepted. I felt loved,” she said.
