Little did the passengers know, they were about to witness an incredible sight.
Violin Becomes Siren Call To Group Of Whales
The violinist on board played so beautifully that the whales became engaged in the music and began to draw closer to the boat.
Maesyn is a professional violinist who lives in LA, and she decided to share her talents online with this beautiful interaction between herself and the group of whales. As Maesyn continued to play, you can see whales start to surface and are attracted toward the boat.
As the video continues you can see the whales they came right up to the boat and floated there, on the water’s surface, so that they could hang out and listen to the music.
People on the boat started to film the interesting phenomenon to be able to share it and document, yet again, another case of just how much animals love music.

It isn’t known what drew the group of whales to the surface, whether it was the rhythm of the song, or the frequency. But the whales enjoyed the song so much that they listened and tried to interact with the violinist, Maesyn.
