Benjamin Zander has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our untapped love for it -- and by extension, our untapped love for all new possibilities, new experiences, new connections.
https://www.ted.com/talks/benjamin_zander_on_music_and_passion?utm_source=tedcomshare&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tedspread--b In this uplifting short film, directed by Max Thurlow and Nick Trumble, Noisey meets 93 year old jazz pianist Edward Hardy. Ed was given a new lease of life and relief from dementia and depression, when his care home discovered he was a talented pianist in his younger days. They reunited him with his ex-band members for a special performance, which proved the power of music for people suffering cognitive disorders. "The best way you can express your feelings, anger, love, passion, joy and other kinds of feelings is simply through music. It is rightly said that when words and letters failed the best option is music. You will be able to express the intent of your heart through music which ordinarily may not be possible for you to either do in words or letters."
The television show 'The Voice' has brought so many hours of enjoyment lately. One of the highlights was the voice of Casi Joy singing "Blue" (also sung by LeeAnn Rimes). Powerful! |
