TED Talks: Benjamin Zander

"Classical music with shining eyes."

This is my favorite TED talk. I hope you all enjoy.

"Benjamin Zander (Conductor of the Boston Philharmonic) 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."
