Dutch Metropole Orchestra To Play a 'Tweetphony' to Save the Music

The Metropole Orchestra needs your help. The players of the jazz and pop orchestra from the Netherlands -- who have won multiple Grammy awards and played with artists such as Bono, Brian Eno, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie -- are about to lose their government subsidy. To save a national treasure, the orchestra is asking composers to Tweet them a song of 140 characters or less using a special keyboard to play, record, and notate the music.
