Meet the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011
10 de enero de 2011
(Cross-posted from the
YouTube Blog
)
Your votes are in. The professionals have had their say. And now, 101 people from more than 30 countries around the world are heading to Sydney Opera House to perform together in March as the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011.
These final 101 outstanding musicians—who range in age from 14 to 49, and hail from five different continents—have emerged from the
336 finalists
selected last month by partner orchestras worldwide (including London Symphony Orchestra, Berliner Philharmoniker and Sydney Symphony). Your votes on those finalists then helped artistic advisor Tilson Thomas and composer
Mason Bates
settle on the final line-up.
Among the final group is a
vuvuzela-fixated trombonist
from Germany, an
Arizona-based clarinetist
who has never left the U.S. and a
Guzheng player
from China, whose instrument is one a lot of the world has never seen or heard before. They’ll come together from March 14 to prepare for a final performance on Sunday, March 20, which will be streamed live to the world on YouTube.
We want to open up every stage of the orchestra process. We
called for auditions
from around the world on YouTube and were blown away by the amazing videos we received in response; the YouTube community voted on their favorites and visited the channel in their millions; and now we’re inviting you to join the winning musicians as they begin their creative journey to Sydney. We’ll post their videos and behind-the-scenes footage of the orchestra—from rehearsal and master classes to performance—to the
YouTube Symphony channel
, and to our mobile apps (which you can download on the Android Market by searching for [youtube symphony orchestra] or
Apple App Store
). In March we’ll start broadcasting from Sydney, so tune in!
Next stop: Sydney.
