Bring your musical mind
bring your Lindens
and prepare to be immersed, soothed, inspired, mesmerized, energized and downright amazed.
Join the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse Saturday, March 24 in a celebration of their 5 years working at Odyssey Art and Performance Simulator in Second Life. Odyssey hosts some of the most adventurous and thought-provoking art-making in virtual reality. It exists through the volunteer management of Liz Solo and Fau Ferdinand. Funds raised will help fund the cost of renting the Second Life simulator from Linden Labs.
Guests will be given an insider experience of the Orchestral dynamic and offered virtual audio-visual instruments, animations, seats and the chance to play music with AOM in exchange for donations to Odyssey.

This is a rare opportunity to have access to a limited set of AOM instruments and instruction and to experience the deep telematic experience of playing with the seasoned members of the Orchestra in this platform.
The program features the creations of AOM's three instrument builders / script artists and members of AOM's performing core. (See list here)
