Brain Break: Pianist Plays Beethoven For Elephants

Give yourself a brain break as pianist Paul Barton shares his story of how he came to play the ‘Emperor’ concerto for a 61-year-old elephant named Mongkol who decided to stay and listen. Many elephants at Elephants World sanctuary in Thailand were rescued from the logging trade. Barton discovered the beautiful denizens of the sanctuary and has been playing for the elephants for years now. Click here for a YouTube playlist of Barton playing full pieces for the gentle giants. I love elephants 🙂
