Vienna Vegetable Orchestra
维也纳植物乐团
Has your mom or dad ever told you to stop playing with your food? No one says that to members of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. They’re serious about playing with their food. They make music by playing instruments made from fresh vegetables.
你的父母有没有告诉过你不要再玩食物？没有人会对维也纳蔬菜管弦乐队的成员这么说。他们很认真地对待食物。他们通过由新鲜蔬菜制成的乐器来演奏音乐。
This orchestra was founded in 1998. Its excellent musicians are not musicians by trade. “We all have musical experience in different projects, but none of us have finished classical musical training,” said Ernst Reitermaier, one of the group members. “In fact, group members have other careers that include medicine, sound engineering, computing, and art.”
这个乐团成立于1998年。乐团里的优秀音乐家不是靠音乐谋生的。“我们都有不同项目的音乐经验，但我们都没有完成古典音乐训练，”该组织成员之一恩斯特·韦康迈尔说。“事实上，小组成员还有包括医学、声音工程、计算机和艺术在内的其他的事业。”
Members of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra are known for trying new ideas. They create and carve their own instruments just before each performance. Their creative vegetable instruments include carrot flutes, pumpkin bass drums, pepper bells, leek violins, just to name a few. Vegetable instruments sound best when they’re fresh. “You can’t play on a rotten cucumber,” one group member said.
维也纳蔬菜管弦乐队的成员以尝试新思想而闻名。他们在每次演出前都会创作并雕刻自己的乐器。他们的创意蔬菜乐器包括胡萝卜长笛、南瓜低音鼓、胡椒钟、韭菜小提琴等等。蔬菜乐器在新鲜的时候声音最好。“烂黄瓜演奏不了音乐，”一个小组成员说。
