YouTube Symphony Orchestra: From Idea to Reality
April 15th, 2009 | by mquagliarello | published in Youtube
Today represents the final culmination of an idea many months in the making: a first-class global orchestra brought together by YouTube. This week, over 90 musicians from around the world — including a Spanish guitarist, a Dutch harpist and a Lithuanian birbyne player — have gathered in New York City in preparation for tonight’s historic YouTube Symphony Orchestra performance at Carnegie Hall. And today on YouTube’s home page, we are proud to present the world premiere of Tan Dun’s composition “Internet Symphony, Eroica,” as selected and mashed up from nearly 3,000 video submissions from around the globe.
Maestro — the mash up, please!
Along with the “Eroica” premiere, we’re also posting exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the preparation leading up to tonight’s performance. Learn more about the YouTube Symphony Orchestra by watching candid vlogs, early rehearsals with conductor and creative director Michael Tilson Thomas, and meet-and-greets between the musicians lucky enough to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event. Many thanks to our “Vlog Squad” team of classical musicians (Caeli Smith, Jeremy Denk, and Eiko Sudoh), and to Harmony Films, who are currently putting together a full-length documentary on the YouTube Symphony Orchestra.
And for those of you who can’t make it to New York in time for the big show, don’t fret. We’ll be posting the full performance from Carnegie Hall on YouTube tomorrow at www.youtube.com/symphony.
Symphonically Yours,
YouTube Music
