They speak different languages but hear only one---music. This unites them as one!

@memoryanemone and, incidentally, their being good musicians says nothing about what kind of people they generally are. i am sure they are just like any cross-section of humans - some nice, some not, some sexist, some not. the music is lovely, but if one "dislike" (with an explanation in the comments, no less!) is that big a deal, then someone either needs to chill out, or youtube, which put this orchestra together, ought not have such a terrible avenue available for people to use!

My high school orchestra director was one of the violists; there is pride running through my veins right at this moment because I know such a talented person.
