Sorry for the late update, but life has been quite unfriendly to me lately. Now that I’m back though, I have some BIG news! I’m not sure if anyone reading my blog had heard but yesterday, the YouTube Symphony Orchestra had just revealed that they’re going to hold an audition, digitally, on the YouTube website! Isn’t that so amazing? I know it’s not really a big fancy thing to be so excited about, but just the idea of being able to communicate about music online with other music-lovers completely fascinates me. Their official YouTube website states that they are a “global endeavor devoted to share the love of music with the world’s diversity”. I think that it’s a really great goal and it depicts very well that when it comes to music, there are no borders.
I remember first hearing about the orchestra near mid December last year. An article from the L.A. times said that the age for violinists and other instrumentalists had finally come, and that YouTube was going to launch the first ever online-collaborative orchestra. Being a violinist myself, I was of course excited to the extreme, but did not really look much into it due to my eventful (hectic) Christmas break.
So they just announced that they’re going an audition. Being the music fanatic I am, you can bet that this blog will follow closely to the various audition videos that is going to soon flood YouTube. If any of my lovely followers wants to participate, be sure to tell me!
Love and kisses to you all! Expect another update sometime next week!
