arcd play sbmer at the
Burk Qephqyt Royn&Up
Fe;stival in Thailand,

In the town of Lampang in
norther11 TI1ada18, there is an
unusuall group of musicians.
They play many dfferenz;h d s of
music--everythlrmg Eram traclitional
Thai soags to music by Beethoven.
Both children and adults love t h i s
g r ~ u pWhat
.
makes them so
ppdar? Is it their music? Their
looks?"es, it's both of these
things, bur it's also something else:
they?-re elephants.
These musical elephants started at
the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (T'ECG) in Lampang.
Thc TECC protects elephant$. It teaches people to
understand and care for these huge, but p n t l ~animals.
,
And, like many zoos around the worId, the TECC

Richard Lair works with the TECC. He: knows a lot about
elephants. He says same of the animals' paintings are very
good. But, in fact, elephants hear better than they set, And so
he had a11 idea: ifelephants are intellgent and they have good
hearing, maybe they can play rnuscc. To test his idea, Lair and
a friend started the Thai leih ham O r ~ h e s t r a .During
~
a
pwf;ammme;the elephants play a variety of instrulnena,
includmg the drums and the xyiaphone. The animals also
use their voices a i d trunks to make sousds,
