It’s an interesting choice, to be sure, but I’ll bet there’s a great story behind how it came to be.

Just wanted to pass this along. Hope everyone is doing well.

Benjamin Zander is a conductor for the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, teacher, and public speaker.  Earlier this year he gave a wonderfully inspiring talk at the TED conference speaking about classical music and attempting to open it up to the masses.  His energy and stage presence are invaluable in achieving this goal.  Check it out for yourself:
