"#ClassicalMusic is for everybody"

"I was in #Ireland (...). I was working with some catholic and protestant #kids on conflict resolution and I did this with them - a risky thing to do, because they were #StreetKids - and one of them came to me the next morning and he said:
"I never listened to classical music in my #life, but when you played that #Chopin piece,"
he said
"my #brother was shot last year and I didn't cry for him. But last night, when you played that piece, he was the one I was thinking about and I felt the tears streaming down my face and it felt really good to cry for my brother."

Never say anything that can’t stand as the last thing you ever say.

Benjamin Zander (born 9 March 1939) adapted from his February 2008 TED Talk “The transformative power of classical music”
