IMHO, a project of this sort just won't work without planning. With a
significant number of people involved, the whole thing could get very
messy, very quickly.

In my experience, ranging from solo piano recitals to recordings,
lectures & concerts with orchestras & choirs, there is always a "plan"
of some sort. The "plan" is always held together by the "man".

Whoever lands the job of director is going to have to make sure that the
"plan" is adhered to & keep a group of lively minded tech-heads in line.

I've been involved with too many things over the years that weren't
planned sufficiently & the result was either no result or a result that
was far more hard-won that it needed to be.

Gavin. (looking forward to writing some music for this project)
