Gavin George dressed up in a tuxedo 1 for Halloween.He is going as a piano prodigy 2, only this isn't a costume trick, instead it's a real treat.

The Newark Granville Symphony Orchestra hosted the pianist,knowing full well his capabilities 3.Earlier this year, he tickled 4 the ivories for a sold-out audience at Carnegie Hall in New York and appeared on national television touting 5 his talent...and oh-yeah,he is 7-years-old. "I played Hahn Concerto 6 in D Major and a Chopin waltz." This is the first time Gavin's played with a full orchestra. "It was really, really fun."A musical DVD intrigued 7 Gavin at a young age.His parents noted 8 his musical interest. With some lessons on a hand-me-down piano, Gavin grew into the instrumentalist you see and hear today. "It's really... we take it day by day with Gavin. Life is quite an experience." And maybe in a few years, Gavin's Halloween costume might be as a Julliard student.
