This morning we mentioned that Vienna Vegetable Orchestra who craft their instruments out of vegetables. They just earned a world record for most concerts performed by a vegetable orchestra with 344 shows over 27 years.

Formed in 1999, this 11-piece ensemble creates music using instruments carved from fresh vegetables, such as carrots and leeks. The orchestra’s journey began as a playful experiment but has since evolved into a celebrated art form. Their eco-friendly approach includes turning unused vegetables into soup and composting spent instruments.
