Thai Elephant Orchestra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thai Elephant Orchestra is a musical ensemble consisting of as many as sixteen elephants near Lampang in Northern Thailand that play music (essentially as conducted improvisations) on enormous specially-designed musical instruments. The orchestra was created and is conducted by elephant conservationist Richard Lair of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center, and the American composer/performer Dave Soldier. They have two CDs released on the Mulatta Records label and a third is in the works.
