About the project
The first AMEB Online Orchestra project saw 1900 people come together to perform the Australian traditional song, Waltzing Matilda. We had a saxophonist from rural NSW, a flute choir from Victoria and a plethora of choirs and pianists. We even had an entry from a full symphony orchestra and chorus.
The final audio track and video were masterfully designed and edited by Jarrad Gilson from Oaklands Production.
