A thing of light and hope

Cairo's Egyptian Blind Girls Chamber Orchestra has been called "a thing of light and hope".

For years the musicians have been inspiring and amazing audiences around the world with their ability to play without seeing the conductor or reading the music.

The BBC's Jon Leyne went to watch the orchestra rehearse.

Very uplifting to see that, Megan.

I agree.
I find this so amazing and inspiring.

It is just staggering, when you think they have to learn it by memory and they have to learn it by brail and then be note perfect.

Yes, amazing! What's the piece they play at the opening of the item?
