We called for professionals and amateur musicians of all ages, locations and instruments to audition for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra by submitting a video performance of a new piece written for the occasion by the renowned Chinese composer Tan Dun.

Finalists are selected by a judging panel which is comprised of the worlds most renowned orchestras and your vote on YouTube (Feb 14-22).

Winners are announced on March 2nd and will be invited to travel to New York in April 2009, to participate in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra summit, and play at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas.

All the Tan Dun submissions will be compiled into a mashup video which will be premiered at Carnegie Hall on April 15th and will be hosted on this channel on April 16th.

I really enjoyed it, terry mcCafferty here from N Ireland, Music is the universal language and this exercise in utilising modern technology is a great idea, the actual logistics and scale of the project must have been really difficult but well worth the effort, congratulations to all concerned, and good luck with any future projects.

I believe that all human beings are musicians - and that's why we enjoy so much music. Why not bringing this to all countries? I wish next concerts of this orchestra should be in Africa. We have the power to change things. This orchestra could promote this change. Let us see what is coming next.

This is something to listen and think A LOT before saying something - The Second Part it is really my favorite (although I really loved the Villa-Lobos Bachianas N.9 at the first part - amazing Brazilian composition inspired by a fugue of Bach) - but the second BACH has Stravinsky, John Cage,... and a composition for DJ and orchestra!!! I mean, was really thoughtful who did the choice of the pieces. So, anyway, the political aspect is what really worries me - I mean, they are treating Carnegie Hall like the Olympus Hill, where the Gods used to live. This experience should be used to encourage classical music to each country of all musicians there. Like Brazil - they have this excellent composer, provided 1 cello, 1 violinist to this orchestra... and then what? some discussion should extend to spread initiatives locally, and make any place a place for musicians - and not a place for war, poverty while some places full of money exhibit they glamor and pretentious democracy -
