I do sense a this Weeman represents all
tension
the electronic and electrical

1.75 billion pounds making up market, with press and DM on
23.5 per cent of the total 18.5 per cent 11.5 per cent

the audience was respectful while taping.
Second - the musicians each had a huge smile on their face throughout
YouTube Symphony the entire concert. They were thrilled to be a part of this historic
Orchestra at
experience.
Carnegie Hall Third, during intermission videos of those who did not make the
ensemble were projected on the walls of the hall while members of
the orchestra greeted family members at the front of the stage.
Fourth, the performance of John Cageās music by Measha
Brueggerosman reminded me why I love John Cage.
Fifth, the multimedia moments during the concert truly enhanced my
experience. Perhaps it is time for other orchestras to consider dong
the same.
Sixth, I was THRILLED to see electronic music
validated in the classical music world. And last,
I was so happy to be a part of what
I believe will go down in music history
as a pivotal moment in classical music -
when the spirit that inspired the great
composers was embodied by a group of
musicians from around the world in one
concert.

of opportunism that
