Urban Voices: orchestra director Caio Forster brings music to the remote masses

Americas Now

Most orchestras perform in theaters or concert halls and let the audience come to them. But one orchestra is doing just the opposite and bringing its music to the people, traveling far and wide to do so.

The musicians’ goal is to lift spirits and create an atmosphere of harmony in places where live classical music is hard to come by.

Based in Brazil, the project is called “Orchestra on the Streets.”
