[LINK] Learning to stream fine music from Canberra

[Tom Worthington]

The School of Music at the Australian National University in Canberra 
"streamed" its first concert live to the Internet from Llewellyn Hall in 
Canberra today. This featured Alan Vivian (clarinet), David Pereira 
(cello) and  Alan Hicks and Katherine Day ( pianio) with works by Verdi, 
Gershwin, Kats-Chernin and Bukovsky. The technology is being 
incorporated into the teaching of musicians, both to help teaching (with 
  master classes by video) and as a subject the students learn about 
(how to set up an online event).

ps: The video of me at the keyboard during the performance are fake: I 
found that the WiFi signal did not penetrate through the concrete floor 
of the concert hall from the library below. I had to wait until after 
the performance to blog. Normally I would be expected to turn my 
computer off during a concert, but in this case I was asked to leave it 
on, as it added a hi-tech ambiance, when the camera panned the audience.
