A few weeks ago YouTube launched a rather unique contest. Musicians from around the world were asked to submit a video audition in hopes of capturing a seat in the world's first collaborative orchestra, The YouTube Symphony Orchestra. The winners will participate in an 3-day offline summit with world renowned musicians and then play Carnegie Hall.
How crazy is this?! This is an opportunity to bring people together from around the world and create a beautiful sounding piece of musical bliss.
The Carnegie Hall concert takes place April 15th. For more details visit http://www.youtube.com/symphony

Awesome find Sara!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this will be in history text books someday--or at least social media books. I can see it now "Spring 2009 - The first orchestra comprised of only those who auditioned through online video sharing performs at Carnegie Hall April 15."
Kind of want to go. Anyone up for a road trip?
Nice post!
Well, many schools offering online classes on public speaking have used video submission method before (although not via YouTube since YT is only 5 years old), so why not auditioning via YT in our 2.0 world?
