Out of many, one.
185 singers, 12 countries, one conductor -- all online.
Grammy-nominated composer and conductor
Eric
Whitacre
put out a
call for singers
on his blog in July of 2009. He then posted the
conductor track
for his piece "Lux Aurumque" and gave instructions, including how to audition for the brief soprano solo. Recordings
trickled in
on YouTube over the next few months until the January 1 deadline; the results were posted on March 22.

Conducting an orchestra. How hard could it be?
The
theory
is one thing - but if you have ever dreamed of having the chance to conduct a full,
professional orchestra
at a
major concert
then you are almost certainly (
*
) out of luck. Sorry. Unless you are a celebrity in which case
the BBC might fix it for you
(
full program trailer on YT
). Giving it their first go are actors
Jane Asher
and
David Soul
, Drum and Bass star
Goldie
, Blur bassist
Alex James
, broadcasters
Katie Derham
and
Peter Snow
, and comedians
Sue Perkins
and
Bradley Walsh
as they compete to be the "
Maestro
"
