Very exciting interview: Tavis Smiley talks with Gustavo Dudamel, "Conducting a life."
The Dude, as he is fondly known in Los Angeles, Gustavo Dudamel cares about kids and music. He brings the two together in life-changing, life-affirming action.
Tavis says, "Kids have a lot in common with those old Polaroids. Just as that process needed exposure to the air, to develop into fully articulated photographs, kids need to be exposed to the best in this world to develop into fully realized human beings. And music without doubt should be part of that."
A 12-year old tympanist explains what classical music does for him, "When I play I feel like the doors of heaven just opened up for me."
If you enjoy classical music, or maybe more importantly if you haven't discovered that joy as part of your life yet, you might be interested in this interview.

Jesus loved little children too. Perhaps he knew they were in sync with a higher music, that of the Kingdom of Heaven which, he said, is within each of us.
