Where in Heaven is Mozart?

2009-12-13T15:44:23.806Z

This is our little "Mozart" and she is 18 months into a multi-year, open ended trip around the world, that started when she was five. She started playing the violin at 23 months old, so we thought it would be fun to mark her unique odyssey by playing her violin around the world at key places.

This is the first installment, with the most exciting moment being her concert in the Sahara. She rode in on a camel and played for 60 Berber kids that have no running water and have never seen a violin.
This is a travel video,

The beauty that we are seeing and the kindness of people every where, makes this world seem like heaven. This experience has been a great gift to us and we would like to share some of it with you. Enjoy!

To answer some of the repeated comments, this is not a performance nor is this child a prodigy. The title is about her nick name Mozart, not the music which is Pachabel.It is a unique documentation of our open ended world tour that she wanted to do. You can hear her playing in other vids in our channel, but none are performances as that is not our purpose.

She is just a kid who loves music and is good at it, but also loves most things kids love and has a full life. It took 18 months to make this video and it was hard enough to get the film, let alone decent sound in these crowded, noisy environments. Thus we did a montage cover song as all do in these kinds of videos. She is young and it takes great concentration to play such sophisticated songs under such circumstances, but her nature is one of great joy as you can see in our other videos or website.We are not rich and travel and live on a total of 25,000 dollars a year.

Soultravelers3 in the Sahara

2009-12-13T15:40:40.570Z

We had a very profound, spiritual experience in the Sahara thanks to the loving people we met there and the awe inspiring, simple beauty. Our daughter Mozart, who was just 6, rode in on a camel and gave a violin concert to 60 welcoming young Berber children which was a highlight for us and we shared some of that in our video "Where in Heaven is Mozart?". We bought some healthy food for them afterwards and Mozart had a great time playing with them despite the language differences.

We were greeted with sunshine and a very rare, magical rainbow as we headed into the dazzling Merzouga dunes for our private camel trek and overnight in a nomad tent under the stars in the Sahara. We were honored to get to visit with some of the nomad families and get a taste of their graciousness, good food and hospitality.

We owe a special thanks to Allesandra & Hmad of Les Nomades who are amazing people who helped us create this special life changing and authentic experience. We HIGHLY recommend them:

Thanks to Mathew Marsolek for the soulful song that is a sanskrit prayer and reminded us of our hauntingly beautiful experience in Morocco:
