June 20, 2016: After a couple of days of work, searching and emailing, I have discovered who the violinist is.
In this video Slovak violinist Ivo Remenec is performing a violin adaptation of the song entitled, “Comptine d'un Autre Eté: l'Après Midi” by French musician and composer Yann Tiersen: https://vimeo.com/29855697 The most well known version of Tiersen's song features in the soundtrack of the film "Amélie" (French title: "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain").
Ivo Remenec is a member of the "Adventure Strings" string quartet:

English translation of what is said:
Father (Assad Baransi): C'mon Rima! C'mon! Here I am filming, c'mon Rima for God's sake! For my sake! For my sake! C'mon start! [Do it!], C'mon Daddy! (here it's normal for Dads to call their child "Dad", and Moms to call them "Mom").
I was very touched by the performance in this video and wanted to use my video editing skills to try correcting in a graceful way the issue of the video turning between vertical and horizontal orientations found in the original recording here. → https://youtu.be/GSHTsyJlGbE
By doing this and then sharing my fixed version of the video in a few key social media sites I also hoped to help this awesome and magical performance be seen by more people.
