High Performance Network Connections

新世界交响乐团（NWS）的愿景是安装所需的带宽和网络设备，以启动一种全球音乐社区，每天互动，没有地理限制。这样的网络将能够从多个远程位置同时传输多个交互式大师班，并促进音乐学院，管弦乐队和合奏团之间的音乐合作和实验。通过Abilene/Internet 2网络进行的初步实验表明，音乐家，教练和讲师可以有效地教，学习，并在虚拟环境中一起表演。也有可能将学生和艺术家聚集在一起，否则他们可能无法前往特定的表演场地。 NWS还寻求利用通过与高等教育合作开发的资源，扩大中学，特别是农村和贫困地区中学的高质量互动音乐教育。

The New World Symphony (NWS) vision is to install the bandwidth and network equipment needed to launch a kind of global musical community that interacts on a daily basis without geographical limitations. Such a network would be capable of transmitting multiple interactive master classes simultaneously from a number of remote locations, and of fostering musical collaborations and experiments between conservatories, orchestras, and ensembles. Initial experiments conducted over the Abilene/Internet2 network have demonstrated that musicians, coaches, and lecturers can effectively teach, learn, and perform together in a virtual environment. There is also a potential to bring together students and artists who otherwise might be unable to travel to a particular performance venue. NWS also seeks to expand the availability of high-quality interactive music education to secondary schools, particularly those in rural and underprivileged areas, using the resources developed through its work with higher education.
