Marc Feldman, chief executive of the Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne, shares this:

Yesterday, the principal bassoon of the Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne which I direct did something extraordinary – I mean really extraordinary. He ran 100km (62 miles 2/12 marathons) in support of music education. We hope that every kilometre that he completed will have its sponsor.

And – he completed the whole race – 25k in 3 hours, the marathon in 5 hours, 71 km in 10 hours and the last stretch at night to finish 100km at 16:20:55! An inspiring performance by Marc Mouginot. Support him and us, in our effort to have every kilometre sponsored in favor of music ed. Go here to show your support and 100 Bravos for Marc.
