TAP cellist Stephanie Lai performs in Live YouTube Symphony this Sunday 3/20

[Karen T. Lin]

Hi TAP Boston!

Remember voting for Stephanie Lai's cello audition video on YouTube this past December? Thanks to your help, she made it into the symphony as one of 10 cellists -- and is in Sydney right now rehearsing for their live YouTube performance this Sunday!

There are two ways to watch:

1) Watch LIVE at 5:00AM EST / 2:00AM PST (that's right, they are in Australia) here: http://youtube.com/symphony

2) Watch the recorded version (not as exciting perhaps), to be posted at some point afterwards: http://youtube.com/symphony

Meanwhile, you can learn more about Stephanie and her experiences in Sydney at her guest blog on for Strings magazine: http://www.allthingsstringscommunity.com/profiles/blogs/one-week-before-sydney

Feel free to spread the word to family and friends!

P.S. Just wanted to remind us all to keep Japan in our thoughts as much as possible -- the power of pure wishes from the mind and heart (and donations to legit organizations) goes a long way and in more ways than we may realize. 

Sincerely,

G'day mates!

Greetings from Sydney! I wish I could have brought you all along to this amazing city. If you're curious to learn what the YouTube Symphony musicians and I have been up to since March 14, please feel free to read my blog for Strings magazine, who has asked me to write daily to share about my experience. You can also view videos posted every day on the YouTube Symphony channel, youtube.com/symphony, until March 20.

My fellow musicians and I have been busily preparing for a wonderful Grand Finale concert for you. Streamed live on YouTube on March 20, this concert will be a multimedia extravaganza of soaring music accompanied by extraordinary projections on the interior Concert Hall and the exterior sails of the iconic Sydney Opera House.

Please tune in at 8pm AEST (Sydney time) on March 20 to the YouTube Symphony channel.
