Virtual Symphony



This is a fantastic, completely 2009 idea: Tan Dun has composed a symphony and is inviting everybody to download music for their respective instruments, rehearse with a video of the Chinese composer conducting directly to you and your specific part, then record (video or audio) yourself playing it. All submissions will be assembled into a virtual orchestra and will be played in Carnegie Hall this Spring; and the best auditions will be invited to NY to play the work in person under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas. This is music making for the web generation.
