The world's first collaborative online orchestra is finally a reality.
And you can thank YouTube.
Known officially as the "YouTube Symphony Orchestra Project," the groundbreaking project will allow musicians to join an online orchestra through video audition and selection.
The project will entail three stages: an online audition, musician selection, and a musical summit at Carnegie Hall in April.
From Dec. 1 through Jan. 28, musicians are invited to submit videos showcasing their personal style. A panel of musical experts from leading orchestras around the world will narrow the field of entries. Then, the YouTube community will be invited to vote on the semifinalists from Feb. 14 through Feb. 22.
The YouTube Symphony Orchestra Channel has more information, including official entry rules.
