Check this out for the world’s first ever collaborative online orchestra: www.youtube.com/symphony
Digital and classical music come together in a truly credible and original way with the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Musicians of all ages and abilities from all around the world are invited to audition by submitting video entries for a collaborative virtual performance. YouTube’s global audience, along with a judging panel, will vote for the best musicians who will win the chance to perform for real at New York’s Carnegie Hall in April 2009.
Musicians select their instrument to access the sheet music, by renowned composer Tan Dun of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame, and then rehearse with the conductor. They can watch playlists, check out the competition and get performance tips from lead instrumentalists from the London Symphony Orchestra.
Thumbs up to the YouTube camp for this compelling initiative.
