now when he was just a little boy. a box sweet for cello has moved to tis so his mom very wisely sent him to a cello teacher now he's one of the world's top soloists and has performed with old the major orchestras to great acclaim and he's even co-founded an entire symphony orchestra in bolivia. beethoven cochabamba bolivia. within just a few years of its birth you were cast off yet i'm only going to believe you has become one of the country's top orchestras co-founded by german cellist leo not. live in violinist me. it was on a south american tour in two thousand and twelve that engine both met salazar and other young bolivian musicians and was struck by their passionate playing. but also by their limited funds. just months later edge and was back in bolivia with
7:46 pm
european funding to help found the orchestra since then he's returned regularly as a soloist and mentor. his enthusiasm there has been infectious whether it's for contemporary composers or for beethoven sonata as he recorded for his new album coming out next month. and hot off the press i have a copy of the album which isn't out quite yet but will be in a couple of days and that's because i've got a copy because i've got the man himself with me and broke welcome to the program you recorded these offices in baldwin beethoven's birthplace was there a special reason for that. well it was it was a coincidence that some folk asked us to do it but it was nice to be so close to
7:47 pm
where i was born and we visited his house and we shot three trailers there for the city as well for the album and it was great to be sold so close to where where he was born and to visit his birthplace and it's the i think it's four hundred i don't know how many hundred one hundred fifty one fifty one a share just now i want to talk about this extraordinary orchestra bolivia what is so special about it in that you defy you. the loss of your time to get wise to it. because i met musicians who are really burning for for their own development burning to have music in their country in a place where there was nothing to support that and not even any suggestion that they could make a living that way it wasn't like somebody said young people should make music let's let's invest but they were just we want this. we don't all we have is the passion in our hearts and whatever we can find online to listen to music we can
7:48 pm
print but there was no structure there was no system in place and i just thought if i don't do something who will and it's amazing how quickly it develops and i mean young people today it must be hard to get not perhaps in bolivia but to classical music is everything is sort of it's going to be two seconds loam doesn't i mean for classical music you need a bit of patience so that's the thing there's so much. initiative to get young people to like classical music and there that was the it was the opposite they already found in their heart the love for the music and this was in anybody to help them improve or help them work with them and bring them to the next level and so it was a very different kind of work i had to do i didn't have to explain to them the meaning they do every answer the meaning of it is now i have is this a professional violin the said to me wants cellos play too loud is there any truth well if you if you ask my pianist i would say greenoak record of the cd he'll agree with you. not that we play to love it we have
7:49 pm
a kind of an inferiority complex about being not as loud as the violin especially when we're compared with the violin we feel we have to kind of. now you have also recently become a conductor and you've worked under the world's great conductors on the greats and ducked so what's it been like having to have an eye maybe on fifty musicians as opposed to one you'll solve i mean it must be a very different disappear. it's a great feeling it's great facing the musicians not having the behind you when you play because as a soloist as a child especially you don't see anybody me. you turn your projection is always towards the audience as a conductor your. face is playing at people playing towards you through you and the audience is behind you so it's a completely different kind of communication with musicians and it's a very very nice feeling we'll be in the future.

7:56 pm
these days barry's inspiration comes from the city he lives in london. he's even devoted an entire series to the laundromats he says are the hearts of many communities he. is sad to see so many closing down so i want to document quite a few in london. you can take several weeks to create a collage like this one. also creates huge denim installations in galleries around the world would sell for tens of thousands of euros but he also exhibits in other spaces like at selfridges department store. he wants his art like jeans to be forever.
