Ever wonder what it like to conduct an orchestra or to be swaying in unison with the violin section? �������� Perspectives is hoping to bring that experience to anyone with access to YouTube. This new program outfits �������� performers and conductors with GoPro cameras during performances to give viewers a unique look at what it feels like inside the orchestra.

This fall, the director of the �������� Orchestral Program, Carl Topilow, strapped on the mini camera for his conducting performance with the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra at Severance Hall.

�I was excited to be a part of this project,� said Topilow. �I thought it was a fun way for the audience to see what I see on stage. And I didn�t notice the camera at all during the performance. I have enough to think about!�

�������� Perspectives is the brainchild of Alan Bise, director of Recording Arts & Services and Lindsay Wissman, multimedia producer. ��������� Perspectives is designed to give viewers a different perspective on the world of classical music performance,� says Bise. �It been found that one of the keys to building an audience is exposure and familiarity. We hope that Perspectives will help to break down the audience/stage barrier and give viewers some insight into the life of the very performers whom they are asked to support.�
