Play With Your Food

How many times did your parents tell you to stop playing with your food? There is now an entire group of adults that make a living out of playing with their food…..the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. The group is in the United States for the first time, and their specialty is fashioning musical instruments out of…….yes, vegetables. The group performed for over an hour and delighted the audience with hollowed out carrots connected to bell peppers that resembled horns, pumpkin drums and dried bean shakers. As long time symphony patrons, we wondered if we would be delighted or violated.


The verdict is delighted. We were also pleased to see that all vegetables were ultimately put to a productive purposes either as food or compost. Watch a performance on YouTube today, and then call your parents to let them know you might have missed your calling!
