Recycled Orchestra
Amid a massive landfill in Cateura, Paraguay, children find hope by making music on instruments built from recycled trash.[1] In a slum town where families survive by collecting and reselling garbage, visionary music teacher Favio Chávez was undaunted by a shortage of musical instruments. In 2006, he gathered a small team to plunder the landfill for materials and construct an ensemble of “recycled” instruments. In a few years, their innovation has led to a thriving music school in Cateura and a youth orchestra that performs internationally. For members of the “Orchestra of Recycled Instruments of Cateura,” material poverty is not an obstacle to a life rich with music. They have each learned to value greatly how music impacts their lives, helping them express creativity, build self-confidence, and strengthen community.
We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour. I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible. The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014. |
