300 Years of Classical Music in 18 Minutes | Joshua Bell | TED

Does the world still need classical music? What about orchestras? In this gorgeous talk and performance, violinist Joshua Bell and the Chamber Orchestra of America play selections of classical music masterpieces — from Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 to Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony and more — sharing why this art form remains a singularly unifying force.
