Talent gets you far, but inspiration carries you over the finish line.

This is our inspiration: the sharp, driven, disciplined and impassioned people we've met over the last month. They're driving us to the end.  

Our crews are wrap up shooting around the world. We're headed for New York. As we sift through hours of footage with Michael Tilson Thomas, Tan Dun, and the 16 members of the YTSO we've had the privilege to meet and be with since we began.

Our crews have developed a fondness for these people. That will help enormously during the rigorous schedules they and we have over the next week.

Five Gramafilm crews will be there as the YTSO assembles in NYC:  staying at the same hotel, studying with them, eating with them, and practicing....all the way to Carnegie Hall.

We've been caught on camera filming Titus Flueras in Transyvania by a Romanian News Crew.

We're back from Transyvania, Cluj to be precise.  We've been filming with the one and only Titus Flueras.  I cannot possibly explain how good this guy is.  You'll just have to watch the new clip.  And stay tuned.  We'll be uploading some incredible duets we filmed very soon.

Have you ever watched a documentary and felt part of the story was missing? On the other hand, have you ever felt that you have a vital viewpoint or piece of information that would add to the whole picture? Well what we want to do now is give you the chance to change the face of the programmes as they emerge...

Turns out the airline company lost one of our bags.  It had the tripod in, the sound boom and a lighting stand.  All pretty important support equipment.

Here we are with a mid week update and a fresh edit.  In this episode we catch up with Jim, Hanah, Kurt and Owain as they get phonecalls from YouTube.  Have they made it into the YouTube Symphony Orchestra?  Have they?  Have they?  Well watch the clip and find out.

Also you should really be leaving us some feedback and tell us what you want to see more of.  Go on.  Do it.

Interesting blog from the mighty Seth Godin...

We were filming with Kurt Hinterbichler when YouTube rang.  Did he make it into the YouTube Symphony Orchestra or not?  Watch the film and find out.

We've been filming with French Horn player Jim Moffat.  A Candian in London we follwed Jim as he rehearsed an American in Paris and filmed an intimate interview with him at his home in Penn.  Watch the film and find out if he made it through to play with the YTSO in New York...

Our first clip is up online - a short profile of Owain Williams from London, UK.
