Some performances feel like music but this feels like a letter you forgot you needed. Karolina Protsenko’s first-ever street piano performance in “Someone You Loved” wasn’t just a new chapter, it was a leap. Sitting beside Oscar Stembridge, she delivered more than a cover. She gave a piece of herself to the street, to the moment, and to everyone watching. This wasn’t about notes; it was about feelings on display.
You can hear it in how she plays, delicately like she’s afraid the song might break and Oscar? His voice doesn’t shout; it reaches. Together, they create something soft and fragile, like sunlight through a window. Two young artists, standing still in a noisy world, giving everything they have to a song about loss.
MY PIANO DEBUT ON THE STREET | Someone You Loved – Karolina Protsenko & Oscar Stembridge
Listeners say the performance made them cry, smile, and remember people they weren’t ready to forget, and that’s the power of Karolina and Oscar together. They don’t just play; they connect. On a sidewalk surrounded by strangers, they build a space where emotion feels safe.
That space deepens in Photograph. This time, Karolina returns to the violin, Oscar holds his guitar, and their connection only grows stronger. The harmonies are tighter, the trust more visible, and the message just as powerful. It’s about holding on, even when someone’s not close anymore and it’s delivered with grace.

The photograph isn’t performed like a show. It’s offered like a memory. The crowd may be clapping, but you can tell most people are just listening. The lyrics land differently when sung at street level, and the violin turns every line into something deeper than words. This performance is still young, but the emotion behind it is timeless.
Karolina Protsenko continues to evolve not just as a violinist but as a storyteller. With Oscar beside her, her music becomes more than melody, it becomes meaning. Follow her on YouTube, Instagram, and wherever honest music lives, the next song might be exactly what you need to hear.
