After the first performance the teacher above (in the blue shirt), discussed with Maestro Salazar how much they loved the music and story as they had just the day before planted their own vegetable garden and then there was also a storm approaching the day of the concert. "The kids really related to the story in an entirely different and personal level," he said.
