You Tube Symphony Orchestra

It is too cold to go out and take photographs so here is one I took back in the summer of 2009.  I understand it was published today alongside an article in the Houston Chronicle which you can read here.

Of course the real story isn't my photograph, it is that David made the You Tube Symphony Orchestra and will get a free trip to Australia to play in the Sydney Opera House.  There are 97 members in the orchestra and 4 soloists from 30 countries around the world - pretty tough competition. To get into the orchestra each applicant posted an audition to You Tube which was then judged - you can see David's audition here.  And one more link - here is David's write-up with the San Antonio Symphony (I took that photo too).
