BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: We know composer Antonio Vivaldi is known for his music, but he has also funded an orphanage for young girls in his efforts to teach them to play instruments.</s>KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: In fact, many of his works, including the well known "Four Seasons," were written for his girls orchestra. Now, a new all-girls orchestra in Washington, D.C. is recapturing the magic of Vivaldi in their own way.</s>STEPHEN SIMON, CONDUCTOR: It's great music. It is fun. It is fun music to listen to, it is fun music to play. I have six boys, so working with 40 girls is a real treat for a change.</s>SHANA DOUGLAS, VIOLINIST: It's all girls. I think that's kind of cool because, a lot of times, orchestras are really heavily weighted on the side of men players, and so it's great for women to have a chance.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm 7. Playing with the orchestra, this is my first time.</s>SIMON: This is the only competition that I know of in the world where nobody loses.</s>HEMMER: I love the sound of the "Four Seasons" and "Winter." Good stuff.</s>PHILLIPS: And seeing the young girls. I love it.
