In this special evening, we will not only bring the timeless classics loved by audiences for decades, but also pair them with brilliant works by underrepresented composers that will tell beautiful stories of true humanity.

One of the greatest powers of music according to Beethoven is it is “A higher revelation than all wisdom & philosophy. Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.” Music has no boundaries nor limits. It comes to us equally as human beings.

This is so cool!


・・・
A cattle farmer and a Danish music training program have collaborated to bring cello recitals to an unlikely audience: cows. ⁣
⁣
In Lund, a village about 50 miles south of Copenhagen, a group of elite cellists played two concerts for both some music-loving cows and their human counterparts. The culmination of a joint effort between two local cattle farmers, Mogens and Louise Haugaard, and the founder of the nearby Scandinavian Cello School, Jacob Shaw, the concerts were meant to attract some attention to the school and the young musicians in residence there. But to judge by the response of both two- and four-legged attendees, it also demonstrated just how popular an initiative that brings cultural life to rural areas can be.⁣
⁣
“Classical music is very good for humans,” Mogens said. “It helps us relax, and cows can tell whether we’re relaxed or not. It makes sense that it would make them feel good too.”⁣
⁣
Until a few years ago, Shaw, 32, had toured the world as a solo cellist, performing in hallowed venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Guangzhou Opera House. When he opened the school, he soon discovered that his neighbors the Haugaards, who raise Hereford cows, were also classical music lovers. ⁣
⁣
Shaw, who had toured Japan, told the farmers about how the country’s famously pampered Wagyu cows were raised to produce tender beef, and it didn’t take much convincing for Mogens to adopt one component of their upbringing for his own cattle.⁣
⁣
Beginning in November 2020, a boom box playing Mozart and other classical works in the Haugaard barn has serenaded the cows daily. About once a week, Shaw and any students in residence come over for a live performance.⁣
⁣
Although it remains unclear whether the cows’ new listening habits have affected the quality of their meat, the farmers noted that the animals come running whenever the musicians show up, and get as close as possible while they play.⁣
⁣
“It’s actually nice playing for cows,” said Johannes Gray, an American cellist who visited the school’s first post-pandemic intake. “They really do come over to you. And they have preferences.” Photos
