In a Nutshell

Youthful violinist dazzles audiences with the skills that have earned her international awards, coveted solo spots, and Juilliard training

The Fine Print

Seeing music live is a great way to really feel the music, especially when you position yourself directly between the cymbals. Be at the center of it all with this GrouponLive deal to see violinist Anna Lee, presented with Renaissance Musical Arts, at the Massry Center for the Arts. For $14, you get one ticket for best-available seating on Sunday, January 27, at 3 p.m. (up to a $27.50 value, including fees). Doors open at 2 p.m.

Brought up in a music-loving family in Seoul, South Korea, Anna Lee can remember waiting at church for her father, a violinist, to finish teaching his lessons. Wanting to play the violin too, a 4-year-old Lee asked her parents if she could start taking lessons, but her father, remembering his initial resentment when the instrument was forced on him, refused. Fortunately, Anna won him over, and within months, she was playing pieces far beyond the range of most high-school students. Since then, her star has only risen with studies at Juilliard, a featured appearance on From the Top at Carnegie Hall, and top honors in the 2010 and 2012 Menuhin Competition for young violinists.

Technically dazzling, her vivacious, philosophical personality lends her performances a passion and nuance rivaled only by the suppressed frown of an angry president. As she told the Peoria Journal Star, "the violin and I have very similar personalities. A lot of ups and downs. At the same time, very mellow."

The Groupon Guide to: Making a Goofy Face

If we each spend just 15 minutes a day making a goofy face in public, this big old bowl of soup we call "Earth" won't seem quite as tasteless. Here are some tips on how to goof up your face:

  • To make a goofy smile, simply angle the corners of your lips down instead of up.

  • Stick your open hands behind your head so you look like you're either a moose or a person whose head is growing 10 fleshy nubs.

  • Turn around before making a face. That way the person you're with won't have to watch you try to fold your eyelids in half several times, if that's how you choose to make your goofy face.

  • Puff up your cheeks. You can do this the traditional way—with your breath—or the delicious way—with a pound of meatloaf.

  • For the "inverse," you'll want to shave off your head hair and glue the clippings onto your face. You'll also probably want to start walking backward and draw two eyes, a nose, and a mouth on the hairless portion of your head with lipstick. Have a friend do it too and then your inverse faces can kiss each other. That's wild!

Would the world be a better place if everyone walked around with a mouthful of meatloaf?
