Verneda Lights P Diddy is live streamin his White Party today. I would love to see LSO leverage technology so that fans in other countries can enjoy your live performances. Low overhead through Twitter: check it out: http://www.Ustream.tv/channel/ptwittytv

London Symphony Orchestra at 2:57am July 6

Hi Verneda, thanks for all the really useful postings over the weekend. They'll be checked out. The YouTube vid of Friday's performance is nearly ready, just adding logos etc! Probably up by the end of today. Re films, live streams etc, we're looking into it to do some things like this next season, but we are quite short on funds to make it happen... Any interested sponsors or funders out there?

Verneda at 7:53am July 6

I understand the need to save. You can accomplish your goal on the cheap. Try Upstream tv, It is free and allows you to have real time streaming videos of your performances. Fans will be able to see you wherever you are, and simultaneously communicate via Facebook entries. This is how P Diddy and Ashton Kutchner did the "White Party" (to fight ... Read Moreagainst malaria) over 4th of July weekend. Here is the link http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/all
Perhaps a film student (or school) would be willing to man the cameras, script on the fly, and edit for later use. This would be an excellent project for some MFA candidate's research project or thesis.

Verneda at 7:59am July 6

Meanwhile I will put out feelers for someone who is willing an able to underwrite this project. Its beginning to look like I have a proposal to write. To whom (at LSO) would I present the proposal. I have started looking for funding sources.

London Symphony Orchestra A rather windy outdoor performance over, now off to Abbey Road to record some music for a film - 7 hours of recording! Another packed day.

Get the right director interested in the film project, and the producer will come. I will ask contacts in the industry to see if there is someone they recommend. There is a photographer named Kevin Mazur (did lots of work for U2 and recently, Michael Jackson), who would be a good person to contact by post or email. He may have some interesting inside tips if you are within 6 degrees of him. May I put my hat in the ring for script writing, or graphic design?

Verneda at 1:31pm July 3

I will definitely check out the Classic Rock album, and will keep my eye peeled for the video uploads here. I can see it now.. vid clips of LSO dancing bigger than life, on electronic billboard(s) in Times Square!

Thanks Ted, glad you enjoyed it. We had great fun trying to translate that strange stuff at the beginning of the Villa-Lobos - until a Portuguese colleague pointed out it was made up!

Verneda - stay tuned... we're working on something a little like that...

London Symphony Orchestra Checking on whether the LSO ever backed any Michael Jackson records. Seems not, only covered Thriller on the 1985 album The Power of Classic Rock, arranged by Andrew Pryce Jackman. Nevertheless, RIP Jacko. Today's music scene wouldn't look the way it does without his influence.

No comment there Steve! :-0

Verneda - there's an old album out there of MJ covers by the "London Symphonic Orchestra". Probably a pick-up band, possibly containing LSO musicians, but not officially LSO.

Mary Wright gawd, I'm an e-groupie... Was there on sunday for the Mozart/Brahms/50th Concert - really wonderful playing and conducting. Most of the concerts I'm involved in are with a small baroque orchestra so felt really naughty to be watching something with 8 double basses!
