Knowledge, Learning, Community

Interesting article on the use of Second Life to host virtual concerts performed by classical musicians. The author discusses the types and mechanics of virtual concerts, but the bulk of the article is devoted to the experience. The concerts offer musicians a valuable training environment, enabling them to practice before a live audience and keep up with works they might not perform frequently. And because audience members can text during a performance, it becomes more of a community event. This article is the first I've seen of hPlus Magazine; I've added it to my subscription list.
