I'm ready to do this with my choir; how about you?
In the first phase, the one leading to Carnegie Hall in April, musicians everywhere--whether in the Australian Outback or in Manhattan--are invited to learn Tan's "Eroica" by downloading their parts from the new orchestra's YouTube site at www.YouTube.com/Symphony.
To compete for a spot, the musicians must record their performances and upload the videos to the site. (The deadline for submissions is Jan. 28.) Then a panel of experts from the London Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic and other orchestras will narrow the field to the best participants. Anyone who watches YouTube can vote for their favorites, with Tilson Thomas guiding the final picks. Ultimately, the winners will be flown in April to a three-day music summit in New York, led by Tilson Thomas and culminating with the Carnegie performance.

... and the winners ( AND losers) can attend all rehearsals on YouTUBE and then all performances on YouTube?
We have seen the future without ever having to log off.
