I like this so much it's difficult to find anything to add that might make it better.
The poses and color invoke an imagery for violinists that is more often ascribed to rock guitarists. The image illustrates music in general as a very fun, passionate thing.
I addition to great composition and imagery, the technique is beautiful, although it's a colorful piece, the colors don't overpower the scene.
My only suggestion might be that the foreground figure may benefit from slightly different level of lighting, so it becomes more obviously in a different plane as the back figure. And the wand (?) in the foreground can seem a little more -like than the one in back.
Those are all nit-picks, this is great!weapon
