The Philadelphia Orchestra and e-Learning Technology

The Philadelphia Orchestra is offering a global concert series live and interactive using internet2. The Concert Series transmissions provide remote audiences with an up-close look at the musicians and conductor in views not seen in person. The concerts are captured using seven high definition cameras and broadcasted live via the Internet2 network.

These live concerts are offered to students at all levels, from music appreciation to music majors. These students have opportunities to participate in interviews with musicians and conductors through e-mail and text messaging. From classrooms to performance halls, the program has appeal for students, educators, administrators and the community.

The Orchestra has two additional transmissions scheduled for the remainder of the season on May 3rd and May 16th 2008.
