[What is Choral Video Submission?]
All you need to do is to shoot a video of yourself singing on your smartphone, following our designated guide track, and send it to us.
Our team will carefully edit each and every video we receive. On the day of the main concert in December, your face and voice will be projected onto the giant screen at Osaka Castle Hall. Your voice will perfectly synchronize in real time with the live performance of the full orchestra and the choir on stage. In addition, the entire concert will be streamed on the " SUNTORY Presents Beethoven's 9th with a Cast of 10,000 Official YouTube Channel," so you can experience the magic from home.
We are truly looking forward to creating this miraculous stage together with you!
