Live at the Sydney Opera House. Back in 2012 we filmed Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner performing "41 Strings" with the Australian Youth Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House as part of that year's Sydney Festival. The piece is part concerto in the classical tradition, but with the modern rock ‘n' roll feel one would expect from Zinner. Using Vivaldi's Four Seasons as inspiration, Zinner's music chronicles the ups and downs of the seasons in a swirling mass of strings and percussion. At times dark and moody, 41 Strings is also hopeful and ultimately joyful.
