The School of Music of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis held a piano duo recital using Internet2. Two pianists, Reid Alexander and Jo Ellen Devilbiss performed in Sep. 2002 in the Ruth Lilly Auditorium of the University Library. Three other universities (Pennsylvania State University, Southern Methodist University, and the University of Illinois) were connected with Internet2, allowing the listeners to experience the virtual recital and ask questions to the pianists after the performance as well as to interact with other audiences.
This project is particularly interesting to music lovers who are not able to make it to the concert venue. If each performer had been in a different city to give a real-time performance using Internet2, the delay in sounds would have been a big issue. However, because both performers were in the same place only connecting with the audiences on Iternet2, this project was made possible. A problem in a project like this would be probable glitches on Internet2. Unlike a master class or science conference, a formal recital needs to be a continuous event.
