Classical music meets Web 2.0

December 2nd, 2008 By Richard Scheinin

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Through YouTube. Not that "practice, practice, practice" isn't still the key to making it to the world's most famous stage. But a new YouTube Symphony Orchestra project, announced Monday in San Francisco, London and New York, promises to set culture and technology on a far larger stage: YouTube's global video platform. The immediate goal is to create a new orchestra with 100 members from around the world, coming together to perform April 15 at Carnegie Hall.
