YouTube Symphony Orchestra Set To Debut At Carnegie Hall 69
theodp writes "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Then, audition on YouTube. When a 10-year-old Hannah Tarley asked to get her ears pierced, her mom told the aspiring violinist she could if she performed at Carnegie Hall. Seven years later, using a computer placed atop several volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 17-year-old Hannah filmed herself playing Brahms' Symphony No. 4 to audition by video for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. On April 15, Hannah will make her debut with others who made the cut at New York City's Carnegie Hall in a concert conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, music director of the San Francisco Symphony."

Full disclosure: A certain amount of envy is part of this comment, since I only picked up this Sonata to study after the deadline had passed. But I still think I could do better.
Don't let envy get the better of you; there'll be other opportunities. One day you might get to have your ears pierced too.

Someone convince that girl to get a labia ring and we'll either have warp drive or the first woman president by 2027.

Whereas your mum would be happy just to get you out of the basement and living on your own.

I'll be the first concert without any lights, with half the orchestra shifted off the stage, with everything always out of focus, & with only 1 note you can actually hear.
