The China Project, is a multi-media chronicle of the Vermont Youth Orchestra's performing tour of China in the summer of 2007. Young Writers Project held workshops, created and maintained a multi-media blog and got student work published in newspapers, on Vermont Public Radio and Vermont Public Television and on stage at First Night/Burlington. Here are all the links to the project:
- The original multi-media blog of the VYO trip to China.
- Vermont Public Radio's two-part series, with narration and student clips, and an interview with YWP Founder Geoffrey Gevalt.
- Text of the students' Aug. 12 story in Vermont Today, the Sunday magazine of the Rutland Herald/Times Argus.
- Musicians talk about what they learned by doing The China Project with YWP.
- To obtain a copy of the China Project Video, edited by YWP Mentor Daniel Houghton and YWP Founder Geoffrey Gevalt, go to the VYO's homepage.
Many thanks to the China Project's sponsors: Vermont Business Roundtable, Physician's Computer Company, Advance Music, Johnson State College and the Vermont Youth Orchestra.
Some of the earlier news stories about the trip:
Yah!!!
The VYO is finally back! I loved thier blogs that they wrote on their trip to China. I loved how one person experianced how it is to be the only white person walking on the streets of China. It's kind of like me, being the only chinese girl in school. I just thought it was very cool!
COOL
I like the sound of that. IT sounds reallly cool
Oh good
I job shadowed one of the producers of Vermont edition, Sarah Ashworth, today. Jane Lindholm mentioned you'd be on Friday. I'll be listening!
