Sydney Opera House, YouTube Symphony Orchestra Grand Finale

These light projections on the Sydney Opera House on Sunday night were part of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra Grand Finale. The YouTube Symphony Orchestra is the world's first collaborative, online, international orchestra. Thousands of musicians from around the world auditioned online for a place in this year's orchestra which performed a program of symphonic music in Sydney last week. The Grand Finale performance featured music and images projected on the interior and sails of the Sydney Opera House. The concert was conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas accompanied by projections by Obscura Digital and streamed live on YouTube, where it is still available to view.

  6. Ann, it did seem a lot more interesting than Vivid last year. They had quite a bit of live action from the orchestra projected on the sails too.
