Google had a brilliant idea, create an online symphony tryout to engage professional and amateur musicians and create a truly international symphony. This may benefit Carnegie quite a bit, who will be hosting all of the chosen performers (chosen by audiences on YouTube) but the opportunities for symphonies all over the world abound- because suddenly they have an opportunity to connect, jump on the bandwagon and get online!
Perhaps my favorite aspect of this project is it came from the outside- from outside the organization, from outside the nonprofit/arts sector and from fans who could do something. And this is for people who are not season ticket holders, not professionally trained, it blows the stuffiness of classic arts performance out of the water. I cannot wait to see the mashup and what is to come, perhaps the Opera is next?
