I'm extremely happy for you! When I was in my teens I kind of forfeited an opportunity exactly like this, but in the realm of guitar. You've inspired me to be honest.
.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your performances. Do not forget, take as many pictures and as much video as you possibly can.
(And steal a pen from your hotel room, if that applies.) :P
hi ben chan... congratulation u made it... im desiree from the philippines... Asian... i'm in special program in the arts in our school... i watch most of your videos last night and it impress me a lot... and now i'm done watching all your 52 videos just 2nite... i told my friends to check your videos... they told me that they enjoy watching you... hope you inspire alot of people and i want to see more of your upcoming videos... God bless you always and take care always...
Congratz!!, im so glad you made it to Carnegie hall. Hope you have a fun time, and yes please post tons of videos, i want to see what it was like there. Have fun!!
Yay congratulations!!!! That's awesome. Can't wait to see the footage so I can see what CH looks like before I go in June lol (and OF COURSE to all of those involved in the wonderful YTSO)!
hello.... um... I want to ask you that if you can play a song on your violin and um.. if you just tell me your email than i`ll sand it to you... Thanks
yay for you!! that awesome! i play the violin too~ but no where near as good. =P but im only 15 with one and half years of experience =P but i've been in percussion ALOT longer.. i totally should have tryed out for mallet percussion, that magic flute song is sooo easy
Just found out they are making a film about the YTSO. Seems like they have already started filming with some of the musicians - Check it out - harmonyfilm com
I have to join everyone else in saying Congratulation!! I actually went "YAY!!" out loud when I saw this video! lol! Have a fantastic time at Carnegie Hall! =D
Hello, I would say that has gone into a program of peru, is called Telurica, to assist him in his hearing, so that the votes you need for the symphony add a video of you playing the violin and went out today in the program, to see him in the channel you tube TELURICA, I SEND YOU A MESSEGE
I hope you do not bother about it, I put video to help you and the program went today, please view it.
Thanks guys! Off to bed, but will look forward to seeing how many more of you post comments :) This is like a dream come true for me- I'm excited to go!
jejeje I know that you're very happy, and I see you again Congratulations!! I'm mexican and very much things that you talk I can understan. But CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
You are totally not just any random kid showing up in the symphony...Im so glad you made it! Hope you have fun and make some more music for us to hear! Congrats, Ben. b( ^_^)d
CONGRATULATIONS!!! It must be so exciting to go! Wish you the best and most importantly, have fun! You know we all love you and admire you as a great player and teacher.
No clue, but I'm guessing we'll have a seating audition or something... though there isn't a lot of time to do so. Shrug :) Whatever it is, I'll give it my best shot!
Whoa, I left for a couple of hours and all of you have posted so many comments... I'm so glad to participate in this celebration! Trust me, my mini-documentary video of the Carnegie Hall trip is going to rock YouTube!
Ben, are you chosen to be the concert master for this symphony? cause i cant find this info on youtube symphony website. just a thought... congrats btw!
thanks! I'm working my hardest to make sure that I can make it in a couple years, but for now I'm relying on you to share the experience with me (and all the other people who didn't make it)! Did you happen to see the message I left you about the new channel augustdavid and I started?
wow, I feel kind of stupid. That last comment was supposed to be left by ikillurobot, not PracticewithMatt. Oh well, I know you've heard of the channel now!
Ah, ok, THAT makes more sense :) Cool idea- I've got a whole bunch of other places where I'm committed to doing videos for work and whatnot, but let me know if there are other ways that I might be able to help you with your channel! Very cool that David and Calvin are with you on it.
You couldn't keep it a secret for long because they posted the winners on their page. Congrats! Now go reward yourself with an HD camera so we can all see exactly what your crazy fingers are doing while playing the violin. :D
o.o i wonder what is the minimal age to be in the Youtube Symphony?
