Country artists weren’t the only ones bringing entertainment to the 2015 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards on Wednesday night.

Country music star Dierks Bentley invited Lindsey Stirling on stage for his performance of “Riser,” off of his new album.

Stirling, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a world-class violinist, started off the song with a quick violin intro before Bentley joined in with the vocals. Stirling sparkled her way through the CMA performance, posted above, while she played her violin on a platform behind Bentley.

Bentley has had 13 number one hits on the country singles chart, and has won awards at the CMA, ACM and CMT Music award shows.

In addition to performing with Bentley, Stirling has previously collaborated with Pentatonix, John Legend, Tyler Ward and The Piano Guys. To watch more of Stirling’s videos, visit her YouTube channel.
