YouTube online orchestra competition
From YouTube:
Join the world's first collaborative online orchestra.We invite musicians from around the world to audition for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Your video entries will be combined into the first ever collaborative virtual performance, and the world will select the best of you to perform at New York City's Carnegie Hall in April 2009.
This sounds like a unique and exciting opportunity for any musicians you know. The conductor is Tan Dun, an exceptionally innovative composer who won an Academy Award for the score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - and who also composed a new opera The First Emperor for the Metropolitan Opera last year (we saw it at the movie theater as part of the Met's Opera at the Movies.
