Australians of all ages and talent levels are invited to perform Beethoven\u2019s iconic 5th Symphony, with Classical Karaoke!<\/p>\n
As part of Make Music Day on Sunday June 21, 2020, Classical Karaoke is encouraging ALL instrumentalists, conventional and unconventional, to join in this national music making initiative. \u00a0The time has come to dust off the old kit, and get match-fit for your symphonic debut.<\/p>\n
An initiative of Sydney Youth Orchestras, Classical Karaoke is looking for everything, from the classic violin, trumpet and cello, to the not so classic harmonica, guitar, even the kazoo \u2013 of all skill levels! This is a rare chance for musicians young and old – skilled or just taking up the instrument anew \u2013 to join a unique orchestra, no matter where you are, what your age, or what you can or can’t play!<\/p>\n
Once you register your part, you\u2019ll be sent your music and rehearsal track, and given two weeks to practice. Then on Sunday June 21, you\u2019ll be on the virtual stage, with the Sydney Youth Orchestras (SYO), led by Brian Buggy OAM. Similar to singing karaoke, you\u2019ll be able to follow the baton. And if you are not brave enough to go solo, then bring a friend, flatmate, or the whole family! You might miss a few notes here or there, but hey, who cares?!<\/p>\n
This interactive, live, digital performance of an arrangement of Beethoven\u2019s Fifth Symphony is designed to engage and inspire those who have been practicing their instrument for two years, twenty-two years or not touched an instrument since primary school. Participants will login to \u2018play along at home\u2019 to Brian Buggy conducting his own arrangement, alongside an audio track featuring SYO musicians and alumni.<\/p>\n
