Tiny Desk Concert: Australian Chamber Orchestra

For those of you who don't know, NPR has a show, which I view as a podcast, called "Tiny Desk Concert". The show is pretty much exactly as it sounds: in the NPR office around noon, they have a group come and play a few songs.

This episode is of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, a group of four strings, who are "among the most culturally current and agile in classical music today".

Highly recommend taking ten minutes out of your day to watch. Pay particular attention to the guy rocking out on the — yes — tambourine on the second track. I had no idea that was even possible.
