Juno, a beluga whale at Mystic Aquarium, became famous in Connecticut and beyond years ago when an adorable YouTube video surfaced of a Hartford-based mariachi band serenading him. Now, a Connecticut musician has captivated Juno again.
Carly Champion Fleming, a cello instructor at Calvary Music School in Stonington, played cello for Juno Sunday and posted it on her Facebook page.
In it, Juno appears to be transfixed by the music and stare at Champion Fleming during her entire solo.
You might recall the video posted on YouTube in July 2011 of the Los Trovadores de America, a Hartford-based mariachi band, playing for the whale during a wedding. To date, that video has been viewed more than 4 million times.
While Juno loves music, he also loved the visual fine arts.

In August 2012, Juno came into fame again when video was posted of the beluga appearing to stare through the glass of his tank and focus on artist Scott Fischer’s sketch pad.
In September 2015, Juno again appeared to steal the show again by photobombing Gov. Dannel Malloy held during a news conference at the aquarium.
