An encore to end all encores
Double bassist John Floeter just sent me a link to this completely wild video from the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra playing Bernstein’s ‘Mambo’ from West Site Story. This Venezuelan youth orchestra makes American orchestras look….well…lame. I’d love to see one of the orchestras I play with doing these moves! Something tells me that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
