The World's Largest Orchestra

A youth orchestra of 2,049 brought together by the Pittsburgh Symphony
has set a new Guinness Record.
961 strings, 458 woodwinds, 410 brass and 220 percussionists,
They were conducted by Mariss Jansons in Michaels Moricz's MUSIC
FOREVER.

Berlioz would have been envious
And how many ear plugs were there?
