Vienna's Vegetable Orchestra

If you see people in the supermarket thumping pumpkins, crinkling onion skins or rolling dried beans, they may be members of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra shopping for their latest instruments. Sunday Morning's Martha Teichner got a behind the scenes look at just what goes into their highly unusual, and tasty, musical performance.

Lmaooo

[@tornadus111]

The piece doesn't get into it, but after each concert the VVO members wash the produce thoroughly and cook a batch of soup for everyone in attendance, so very little gets wasted in these performances.

[@pifandhercule3384]

Todd Jenkins thats gross

[@lizclegg7556]

I think the soup they serve comes from different vegetables, not the stuff they played on stage (there isn't time to wash it, cook it and serve it to the audience).

[@toonertik]

Zucchini and spital soup... cabbage and stage floor dirt as a side dish... yummy!

[@JennyPlays31]

As A Wise Man Once Said "Everything Is A Musical Instrument If You Know How To Play It!"

[@MademoiselleGaiwen]

@boardmkillz & @aznqueenb : There's no waste of food, after the show, they make a soup with the vegetables & the soup is shared with the audience :)

[@phoebearthur]

Excellent job guys!

[@aznqueenb]

So... do they have soup at the afterparty when the show's over? I'm just a little concerned about what happens to the 70 lbs. of musical food.

[@plegsio2941]

Merci Doc Seven

[@smileynoir]

I guess their moms never told 'm not to play with the food...

[@NuggetsXInfinite]

Ahh, so this is what's happening to the world's food supply, I approve.

[@twollyeye121]

2:14 carrot solo!

[@Sacratissimum13]

And there are people starving, all over the world, everyday!

[@MdeBohun]

+Daniel Waltrip Well the instruments are made into soup afterwards, so it doesn't go to waste.

[@Sacratissimum13]

That's amazing! My apologies!

[@doristheslug9609]

CHALLENGE: Make a pipe organ using pipes made of certain vegetables. Different stops and ranks refer to different vegetables; cucumbers, courgettes, potatoes, carrots, parsnips.

[@Bluebarmy]

As much as half of all the food produced in the world - equivalent to 2bn tonnes - ends up as waste every year. I don't think the Vegetable Orchestra is making a huge dint in that figure for those that focus on that. I use frozen veg because I throw so much 'was fresh' veg away. Fun, creative idea guys.

[@trinchen1414]

Vincent Palmer they cook everything into soup though, so there isn't much waste anyway!!

[@Kenji_195]

This "band" appears in my book New Interact 3 :)

[@jenniferhalter4575]

[@VeryUselessPerson]

Healthy music

[@extropiantranshuman]

the only instrument missing is the sound of crunching a vegetable when eating it.

[@zebanijah]

I dont want to be a jerk but when I see something about wasting food I always think about the children in the Africa

[@Frani298]

well, they DO make a huge soup after each gig with all the garbage instruments they make...

[@zebanijah]

?? rly

[@zebanijah]

so funny ya ?

[@ludiqhui5338]

Its true

[@Frani298]

Funnny indeed, my friend. Specially considering people don't normally like other people's saliva on their soup.

[@joettajercinoivc1696]

This makes beans less magical.

[@zomacimi]

[@BilalAhmed-tz9kf]

I couldn't understand what they are trying to do

[@CarnivorousPlantsAndGardening]

so they just peel off the onion skin at the store that just makes them go bad faster

[@JadeEyes1]

Supposedly, yes. Or something. They DO eat them, though.

[@aleph7461]

Osservare come godono nel seviziare questi vegetali non mi fa più dormire la notte... Qualcuno intervenga...

[@medicwaffles]

But have they gone to Africa?

[@valerianardelean9235]

So funny

[@Godlynessinate]

This whole thing sounds so sexual.

[@loyhy48]

Hei

[@bunglenews2790]

It's kind of a shame. These people have no right to call themselves musicians.

[@lizclegg7556]

I saw these guys in London maybe around 13 years ago. Mediocre, delusional and self-indulgent.

[@gangfrajerow7389]

Kto z gazety? XDDDD

[@Alexmem1115]

White culture is so beautiful :'D

[@JadeEyes1]

The hell?

[@lizclegg7556]

If you drew that conclusion from watching or listening to these guys play then your standards are unfortunately very low.

[@legofanguyvid]

kokiri music

[@TheMartian11]

Music for vegans

[@emyysaooo4313]

Silly idea where is FAO org to save food from that crap

[@boardmkillz]

this is an epic waste of food.

[@user-qn8jb5ev5s]

I think its just a waste of food .Playing with your food is not the best decision 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@naruto9902]

first!

[@elizabethbarroeta965]

🥱🥱🤮🤢 🤬😡

[@user-tc3xn9pb3r]

Лучше бы по новостям такое бы показывали! А не вот это вот всё

[@99Filmo]

or as the austrians say with their accents: wedgtable. WTF!

[@elizabethbarroeta965]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@homeschool8304]

Found this while verifying that LG commercial. And honesrly, i find all these disgusting, such waste. Although that's better than food fights which also i find a very western culture thing

[@RobsonFilho]

CRINGE

[@tomasius4864]

It's just waste of food tbh

[@anonem]

no,after performance,they eat it

[@grahamsaunders8069]

I get that this is cool, but we wonder why people are starving everywhere in the world. Think about it.

[@JadeEyes1]

This has been addressed. Read the comments.

[@MrJeonghah]

This is not why people starve. The world already produces enough food to feed the entire world multiple times over. Its because foods are now economic goods(thanks to corporations and futures market) and prices need to be regulated.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

This is weird.

[@BilalAhmed-tz9kf]

Nothing special actually
