Despite earlier promises the Metropole Orchestra's subsidy and existence were still under threat. Therefore we asked the Dutch audience to "Let the Metropole Orchestra play!" by composing a musical tweet via tweetphony.nl. The 33 best tweets were arranged into scores, and played by the Orchestra in a 8-hour, live streamed concert. A video of each Tweetphony was immediately sent back to its composer. In total over 3300 tweets were sent. Alle major media picked up the story, including a big item on the Dutch national news. After the Tweetphony the orchestra was grated with subsidy intill 2017.
