An orchestra ventures out of the ivory tower of high culture into the Berlin inner city streets to work with young people who have never danced before and are strangers to classical music. 250 participants aged 8-18, from all social classes and ethnic backgrounds, gained confidence and strength during rehearsal and performance of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. With choreographer Royston Maldoom and project director Sir Simon Rattle, they discover that music is ”not a luxury but a need, like the air we breathe and the water we drink” (Rattle).
