I was once witness to a wonderful perfomance of the famous Bach Badinerie as part of the Avignon festival. 
 
The group played from the top of a tarred and feathered open-top double decker bus and consisted of a flautist, a violinist, a cellist and a keyboard player.  In front of them stood a conductor and behind them, two dark-skinned gentlemen who beat the living daylights out of cymbals and a drum in the style of a military march.
 
The memory still brings a tear to my eye.
 
All the best,
 
Lawrence
