YouTube Orchestra Ready to Tune Up

The selections range from the very old (Giovanni Gabrielis Canzon Septimi Toni No. 2) to the very new (works by Tan Dun and Mason Bates) and include a healthy dose of classic symphonic fare: the Allegro giocoso from Brahmss Fourth Symphony, Nuages from Debussys Nocturnes, the finale from Tchaikovskys Fourth Symphony.

Yuja Wang is the piano soloist in the Scherzo from Prokofievs Concerto No. 2, Gil Shaham the violin soloist in the finale from Mozarts Concerto No. 5 and Measha Brueggergosman the soprano soloist in John Cages Aria With Renga.

The orchestra more than 90 players from more than 30 countries, selected through auditions posted on YouTube is to gather for its first rehearsal on Monday morning at the Juilliard School.
