YouTube Orchestra Concert

YouTube orchestra performed for the first time last week. After online auditions, 100 musicians were selected from 70 different countries. They all met for a few days of rehearsals and played a concert together in Carnegie Hall on Wednesday last week. 

This is for sure a big change in the music world and in the way by which an orchestra is assembled. Perhaps this will change the dreadful orchestral audition process. After all it is faster and cheaper both for the candidates and for the orchestras to hear musicians from all over the world on line than to have them all come to NY to play their 7 minutes auditions.
