Episode 6

Tonight an unusual BBC documentary with spectacular footage of… sardines! With the arrival of winter, the waters along the east coast of South Africa cool, attracting billions of sardines that push north of the Cape attracted by the rich deposits of plankton. The “Sardine Run” is the greatest marine spectacle on the planet and attracts numerous ocean predators: dolphins, sharks and greedy whales throw themselves on the sardines, while gannets rush from the sky like rain. Numerous, as always, the reports and columns, including: “It is not for children with musical talent or for a certain social class. We do not just want to introduce children to music, but to life through music. Music helps us to understand the world” are the words of the great conductor Daniel Barenboim, who founded the first musical kindergarten in Europe, the Musikkindergarten, in Berlin.
