Oh just some elephants dancing to a lady playing the violin

They’ve got good ears for music.

VIOLINIST ELEANOR BARTSCH need to do some warming up for a concert she’s taking part in, so decided to practice in front of a captive audience.

She played Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for Two Minor for Kelly and Viola, two elephants in their forties who have lived together most of their lives.

And they loved it…
