Just a little something to make you smile today: The Chicago Sinfonietta came together to play Leroy Anderson’s Plink, Plank, Plunk!, where many of the musicians pluck string instruments. How cool is that? I really love the sound, and it’s such a pick-me-up.
P.S. Made me laugh, and kids in conversation.

this just made my day, 100%. thank you for sharing
Plink, Plank, Plunk! – 1951 – by Leroy Anderson. Very nicely done.
The timpanist outside in the street! I can’t help but wonder if he has a partner at home in a video call, or children napping or trying to do schoolwork, and they booted him out with the drums.
Bravo! Outstanding.
How delightful! So lovely to see people dressed up in black tie
This was so fun!
Thank you for this post! Art is so clearly an essential human need and videos like this most definitely brighten the spirit!
that was fantastic! In France so many musicians do that, I love their generosity, we so need them! lots of poetry reading on instagram aswell (check Lou Doillon, every day at 5pm french time).
That was a joyful respite from the week! And funny, our wedding violinist (from 7 years ago!) is one of the violinists in this group. Didn’t know til I saw her name pop up. Small world. :) Thank you for sharing. <3
OHH, Leroy Anderson had some of the greatest happiest music EVER. (And not just for Christmas.) Love this! Thanks for sharing!
