Favorite:

Rosemary Nalden and Buskaid
Musician, teacher, mentor

Rosemary arrived in Soweto nearly 20 years ago after she heard about a group of children who were struggling to learn music. She arrived to help fundraise and to teach. Now, as Founder of Buskaid and director of the Buskaid Soweto String Project - she has spent nearly 20 years teaching music to young black children in South African townships. Her pupils have gone to win places at prestigious music schools in Britain, and the group appeared with John Eliot Gardiner at the BBC Proms in 2007. She will talk about how to build a world-class music school and how that helps builds world-class young people.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
