I don't think so. I received Perfecto newsletter from 21 March, and there it say next:
"The annual Winter Music Conference kicks off in Miami next week. On Tuesday night, 3/25, Paul Oakenfold will take to the stage alongside members of the Florida Classical Symphony and Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley at a very special event to promote the launch of the Bourne Conspiracy video game."
But nothing of this has been broadcasted. And, as far as I know, this, which is mean to play a DJ with an orchestra, is something that Oakey and Van Dyk have already done. I don't know how could result Van Dyk attempt, but I see on YouTube or somewhere a video of a live performance of Paul Oakenfold and some orchestra (I think it was from LA) to perform an orchestral work made by an American composer that made this for Oakenfold, but the work is far of being interesting. And my opinion is that every one who try to make some kind of mixture between every musical genre you wanted to name (progressive rock, pop, rock, or even in this case trance music from a DJ) and classical music is a big failure, in every case (check it out lame Paul McCartney's "Liverpool Oratorium" to see that he doesn't know anything about classical music and how it works an orchestra, not to mention how retarded is his musical language in that "oratorium", it sounds like a really bad composer from XIX Century, who doesn't know anything about music evolve through XX Century, and of course what it is an Oratorium, that is not a group of songs singed one after another).
That Oakenfold video it was pretty lame, because orchestra played first one part of the piece, and after Oakenfold played his part, but it is so obvios that the sound of the orchestra has one register, and DJ has another, and both are impossible to really mix in one new and whole unity, that I can say from now that that has to be a very boring and lame thing, unless someone can prove the contrary.  And, as far as I can remember, musical language of this work was so poor and boring, that I really don't remember anything but that it was a boring experience. So, I'm pretty sure that you don't have miss anything of Oakenfold in this WMC.
