On 20 March the Grand Finale of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 was held at Sydney Opera House and live-streamed to the world on YouTube. More than 100 musicians from 33 countries joined together for the first time in Sydney.
The Grand Finale was streamed 33 million times around the world to 189 countries. This included 2.8 million mobile live-streams, making it one of YouTube’s biggest ever streaming events to date, on mobile and desktop. That means the event was streamed to nearly one-and-a-half times the entire population of Australia including external footage of the Sydney Opera House and the orchestra inside.
The top 10 countries viewing the performance online were the United States, Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Russia, Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Taiwan.
That is Rushcutters Bay Victor? They used to need dozens of trams lined up to clear the crowds after boxing matches. Luckily it was near the tram depot.
