It’s not quite a broadcast, but this new effort at the New World Symphony is worth taking notice of. It’s a simulcast of the concert outside, projected on the exterior of the concert hall. Here’s a video of it that Alex Ross made:

Wouldn’t this be a trip in Los Angeles?!? What do you think of this idea? Is it worth while? Initially, I rather like the idea that it could catch passers by. It might be even better if this was simulcast to walls all of the city.

My favorite part of this video happens right when the conductor raises his baton. I would love it if I could take my dog with me to the symphony. Just look at her. Wouldn’t you be more likely to attend a concert if you knew you would run into this cute punim?

Thanks to Alex for sharing this on his blog.
