They called for professionals and amateur musicians of all ages, locations and instruments to audition for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra by submitting a video performance of a new piece written for the occasion by the renowned Chinese composer Tan Dun.

Finalists were selected by a judging panel comprised of the world’s most renowned orchestras. Winners were announced on March 2nd and were invited to travel to New York in April 2009, to participate in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra summit, and play at Carnegie Hall on April 15, 2009 under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas.

All the Tan Dun submissions have been compiled into a mashup video. You can also hear Michael Tilson Thomas talk about the orchestra here
