The Vision of the Conductor of the Philaharmonic

Zander, Benjamin. "The Transformative Power of Classical Music." TED. Feb. 2008. Ted Talk. Web. 13 Nov. 2015.
    The Ted Talk “The Transformative Power of Classical Music,” Benjamin Zander expresses the potential he sees for everyone to love and connect to classical music. Explaining that classical is not a dying idea, rather it is a glorious opportunity to share music with people. He separates people into three sections; those who love classical music, another who don’t mind classical music, and those who don’t pursue classical music. However, he expresses that he can’t talk to three different kinds of people. In other words by the end of this talk he will have everyone falling in love with classical music. As a leader he exudes confidence that his vision will be accepted and internalized by the crowd. With joy and humor the conductor of the Philharmonic expresses in a short amount of time the magic of music. The effect music has on the soul, and how music can have an impactful effect on the lives of all people. He gave the audience  the opportunity to have the experience of feeling and visualizing emotions that connect to music. He expressed this to a crowd simply by playing a piece of music. Music truly does have power.
