The Rachel Elizabeth Barton Foundation announces its newest initiative: Global HeartStrings.  Classical musicians in developing countries often cannot obtain such basic supplies as rosin, strings, reeds, and sheet music. Furthermore, they do not have access to instrument repair shops, resulting in their instruments becoming unplayable due to lack of basic maintenance. Global HeartStrings is dedicated to supporting these aspiring classical musicians. Rachel's youngest sister, 20-year-old violinist Hannah Barton, is helping organize supply-gathering drives for Global HeartStrings. For more information, please visit www.rebf.org.  Be sure to also join the Global HeartStrings groups on Facebook and MySpace.playing time: 18:56 SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST ON I-TUNES!
