Enjoy "The Star Spangled Banner" as performed on a 300-year-old violin
This browser does not support the video element.
The U.S. national anthem has enjoyed many different renditions over its 200-plus years of its existence, performed by Whitney Houston, Taylor Swift and Andrew McCutchen's mom alike. But perhaps no version has been as relaxing as Cho-Liang "Jimmy" Lin's -- the music director of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest and a world-renowned violinist. His instrument of choice? The "Titian" Stradivarius, made in 1715.
Lin, who also founded the Taipei International Music Festival, played the Star Spangled Banner before Monday's Cubs-Padres game, which Chicago won, 5-1. Watch and enjoy by clicking play on the video above.
