Lindsey Stirling featuring the 'Landfillharmonic'.

Last edited Sat Apr 18, 2015, 08:46 PM - Edit history (1)

I am a fan of Lindsey Stirling for a number of reasons, one of which is her work with kids. Here she teams up with a group of children from Paraguay known as the Land Philharmonic. They are impoverished kids from Paraguay who with a music instructor pieced together their instruments out of bits and pieces of garbage found in their local landfill/dump. The background music is done by these kids and they show up midway in the video. Lindsey almost always has a bit to say at the end of her videos, this one is most worthy of listening in to. The second video is a 13 minute short documentary, equally inspiring.



and the 60 Minutes story on the Land Philharmonic:
