1 - Vivaldi's 4 Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter

From the project page:

This is no mere arrangement; instead Richter has absorbed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons into his own musical bloodstream. At first Richter followed the example of other works in the “Recomposed” series, which re-mix existing recordings, but, he says, “I wanted to open up the score on a note-by-note level, and working with an existing recording was like digging a mineshaft through an incredibly rich seam, discovering diamonds and not being able to pull them out. That became frustrating. I wanted to get inside the score at the level of the notes and in essence re-write it, re-composing it in a literal way.”

4 - Billy Joel Answers the Question

Fan Michael Pollack stood up to ask his childhood idol a question during the Piano Man's recent Q&A at Vanderbilt University. 

He asked to play with him. Joel answered.​

"...​and that's how you get to be a horn player in NYC... take a chance" Joel after the song.

​If you don't ask, you don't get. ​

3 - Lovely Animation on Bullying

To paraphrase Steven Pinker, "stories are empathy technology." And this is a good story for putting the impact of bullying squarely in the mind.

5 - Tintype Stop-motion Animation

“Near the Egress”was made by photographer Antonio Martinez and depicts a circus show. 

It is eeriy and gorgeous and full of images that feel like memory (at least to me).
