This, from the CBS News series 60 Minutes, is really fantastic. An ex-pilot in Kinshasa founded a symphony orchestra - starting from zero, with no musicians, instruments or teachers... I think Gareth Malone and the Military Wives have a little competition! (Sorry about the car ads...it's worth waiting for.) Thanks to Marshall Marcus for drawing attention to it.

I think it's a testament to the power of classical music that it can pop up in such unexpected places. People go to amazing lengths to get it, and I appreciate the poetic way in which this story shows that. It's really incredible.
