Benjamin Zander: Classical music with shining eyes

I first saw Ben Zander at a P&G event - and over the course of 3 hours or so he covered everything from leadership skills to how everything is possible. His book is titled "The Art of Possibility" and it is an amazing read. Here is a short excerpt I found on youtube of one of his speeches - this is an neat exercise about taking something that is not that popular today (like classical music) and demonstrating the connections we all can have to it.

Bravo!

In all seriousness, this is my vision to how classical music should be presented.

By the way I'm also going to take that "impulse" thing to heart when I'm playing the violin... might improve my skills!
