TEDxSydney - Shenzo - The Flying Violinist June 17, 2011

Favorite:

Shenzo turned the violin world literally upside down when he became the first violinist to play upside down and fly through the air.

This unusual combination of flying stunts and virtuoso musicianship captured the attention of the world.

London, Delhi, Seoul, Dubai, Bangkok, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Edinburgh, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Taipei and every major capital of Australia has seen the helmet clad, flying violinist wow audiences with his off-the-wall performance style, and his unique take on some well-known classical pieces.

TEDxSydney 2011 took place on Saturday 28 May 2011 at CarriageWorks. Tens of thousands of people enjoyed the day: 800 in the theatre, over 1,000 via big screen simulcast in The Forum, up to 48,000 online via YouTube ... and up to 80,000 tuning in to ABC Radio National. It was a grand day. About TEDx, x = independently organised event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
