An orchestra in the middle of Manhattan with a sign that reads, "Conduct Us." Full Story: http://improveverywhere.com/2013/09/24/conduct-us/ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ImprovEverywhere JOIN US: http://improveverywhere.com/email-lists/ We put a Carnegie Hall orchestra in the middle of New York City and placed an empty podium in front of the musicians with a sign that read, "Conduct Us." Random New Yorkers who accepted the challenge were given the opportunity to conduct this world-class orchestra. The orchestra responded to the conductors, altering their tempo and performance accordingly.
