Please Help Send 16 year old Gabriel Panny to Carnegie Hall!

Gabriel Panny, a very talented 16 year old cellist and our Propsect Heights neighbor, has been selected as a finalist in the You Tube Symphony Orchestra. The YTSO is the first online orchestra project; winners will have the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas.

Over 4,000 video entries from around the world were submitted and judges selected Gabriel as one of 200 finalists. Now, he needs your help.
Please go to http://www.youtube.com/user/symphony?blend (or type in You Tube Symphony Orchestra when you visit the site) and click the red VOTE box. Afterwards, select "cello" and navigate until you see Gabriel's videos. When you click to open one of his performances, you'll see why we are so enthusiastic about this gifted musician. Underneath the video box, click the "Thumbs Up" icon and cast your vote. You need to be a registered You Tube user and can vote once a day until February 22.

Thanks for your help!
