"It is not animated. UBS videotaped the UBS symphony orchestra which was doing a tour and recording a CD. They recorded them live performing all three pieces which can be heard and conducted here at the UBS Virtual Maestro," said Christina Crowley, Ravinia Festival manager corporate relations.

According to Ravinia, anyone- even those without rhythm- can conduct this orchestra.
