This afternoon (by the time you read this) at the National Music for Youth Festival, held at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham - the UK's second city, not the one in Alabammy - a piece specially composed for our almost-one-eyed mystery elephant will be premiered.
The piece was commissioned by Helen Walton, a mahout course graduate and music teacher in the UK, it will eventually be available on CD to raise funds for the Foundation.
There will, of course, be more details to follow, but if you're in Birmingham and weren't already planning to go along then please do go and support the kids, be the first to publicly hear the East meets West (Song for Ewong).
