Inside the YouTube symphony

Posted by Sarah Hutchins

Jacobs School of Music students Daniel Stein, Dash Nesbitt, and Renee Gilliland participated in the YouTube symphony. Musicians from around the world uploaded audition videos hoping to land a spot in the global concert at Carnegie Hall in New York. After two days of rehearsal – and a few global jam sessions – the orchestra played a three-hour concert to a sold-out audience. Here are some of the musicians’ favorite YouTube videos from the event.

Renee Gilliland’s Video Blog

Gilliland, a violist, posted video diaries from her New York hotel room each day.

“I honestly decided that each night I would summarize what happened, because I knew I would forget. So I decided to do this in my hotel room and I posted it and thought this is going to be the kind of video where it’s like one view for ten years. And then one of the ladies who was coordinating the event featured it, and one of them has like 67,000 hits. It’s amazing and it’s not amazing that people would be interested in this because it’s such an innovative, first time thing that they’ve done.”

Jeremy Denk’s Video Blog

Some of Daniel Stein’s favorite videos from the event were made by YouTube Symphony blogger Jeremy Denk. The pianist carried his flip camera around to capture the magic. Check out this video called: “First Day of Rehearsal Vlog, with Manufactured Controversies by Jeremy Denk”

Manuel Zogbi, “Lagrimas Negaras”

“There was one violinist I was really inspired by, Manuel Zogbi,” Nesbit said. “He had a lion head on the top of his violin. He just had this freedom about his music.”

In this video Zogbi, who made it to the symphony from Mexico, improvises on Lagrimas Negras playing guitar and violin.

Fresh documentary at Boxcar Books

Posted by CJ Lotz

Update: The documentary was interesting, but not groundbreaking. Boxcar Books was packed, with students and locals filling chairs and sitting all over the floor. It was refreshing to see the community join to learn about local food and other possibilities.

Just in time for Inside’s Freshest Issue Ever, Boxcar Books is showed a documentary simply called “Fresh.” It’s about local food and connecting people with the resources in their community. We’re pretty excited. Check back for a review of the film, or see it yourself Friday, October 23 at 7 p.m.

Oprah is Inside

Posted by CJ Lotz

We couldn’t help but notice a strange puzzle-perfect quality between Inside’s first issue of the year and a June 15 issue of Newsweek. Note the pink shirts. Thank you to Alex Farris for the observation and Ryan Dorgan for the photograph.

Oprah! Get Inside!

Editor’s note

Allie Townsend, editor-in-chief

I’ve always seen college as the time to really do something. In this issue, we look at play: what it means and why it’s so important. In the end, it’s about doing whatever you want in that moment. So this summer, keep playing, keep venturing, keep yourself busy doing what you love, doing anything exciting. You’ll have so much fun, you won’t even mind the grass stains. I promise.

Editor’s note

Posted by Allie Townsend

I think Rilke said it best: “A work of art is good if it has grown out of necessity.” We asked student artists what inspires them to create. The answers were as different as the people themselves, but their intent was the same: to send a piece of themselves to a place where only an interpretation of the world could ever exist.
