Robot Conductor Raises Music Education Awareness

Friday May 30, 2008
After the last post about "The View", this YouTube video gives me hope again that one day music will be taught in every school around the world. In an effort to raise awareness, Honda's ASIMO robot conducted the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) as part of the orchestra's "The Power of Dreams Music Education Fund". Honda has gifted over $1 Million to create the DSO's music education fund, which "will help support and expand the DSO’s nationally acclaimed music programs for young people, and particularly an effort to encourage and support involvement of children in Detroit." Visit The Power of Dreams - Music Education Fund for more information.
