YOUTUBE SYMPHONY

On Wednesday, April 15th, at Carnegie Hall, the YouTube Symphony will make its performance debut. I find this venture fascinating because the web has the potential to bring musicians together in non-traditional ways. Of course not every group can book Carnegie Hall, but what is to keep someone from saying, "I love 20th century chamber music, if you do as well and live in the NYC area, post your CV, let me know what you'd like to play, and perhaps we can put a group together and look for a performance venue". I know this sounds rather "pie in the sky" without Michael Tilson Thomas, Carnegie Hall, and YouTube to back it up, but it does open the door to new ways of gathering like-minded musicians together to make music!
