"There is a before and after this experience in the life of a musician," said Fred Nathan, a 23 year old violinist born in Uruguay and living in Madrid, where part of the National Orchestra of Spain. In January he knew he had been one of the 101 musicians from over 30 countries and selected through auditions online, elected to the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011.
We know that music is a universal language, and this is proving more than ever In addition to Frederick, in the orchestra of YouTube are Jordi Navarro (trombone), a 28-year resident Alicante in Madrid and also belonging to the National Orchestra; Ramón Antonio Ruano (bassoon), 30, of Valencia, and David Barrera Suarez, a young man from Madrid who started playing the cello at age eight and spent six years completing his studies in Austria.
The four arrived in Australia last week and these days are playing in a setting as privileged as the Sydney Opera House, and rehearsing with the prestigious director Michael Tilson Thomas for the big concert on March 20, to be broadcast in streaming live from YouTube page for the entire planet.
"The great thing about this experience is not only enriched me as a musician, if not what gives me energy share coexisting human level and making music with people from different cultures and countries," says Federico from the Australian city. "I appreciate making music with people of different ages who come from far away and may not have sufficient resources to devote to music, but they show great talent," he said.
Jordi agree that unite many cultures, music and new technologies is a great idea: "We know that music is a universal language, and this is proving more than ever." In his opinion, often the life of the musician is sacrificed, as it requires perseverance and continuous effort, "but sometimes when you get a prize and award it all." Nevertheless, her feet on the ground: he knows that this will not be a drastic change in his career but considers it "a step and an important experience" which will remember forever.
