Today I’ve chosen a piece of music truly European in all senses of the word…it’s by a German composer celebrating the traditional national dances of Hungary….and performed by a Polish orchestra. Johannes Brahms - Hungarian Dances 5 & 6 - Polish Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Dress rehearsal? Empty seats, few clapping.
I looked and thought: how much do these players get paid as there are so many of them. And I'll bet that they do not get nearly as much as pop band playing to a similar sized audience.

I think they’re all school age …it’s a youth orchestra…that means amateur and completely unpaid!
How wonderful to see young people like this play this gorgeous piece of music with such passion!
