“And He shall reign forever and everâ€
Christmas flash mobs have become very popular in recent years. A simple search on YouTube yields thousands of results, but there is one that I believe is truly the best.
It took place at Macy’s in Philadelphia in 2010. Hundreds of singers from various groups dispersed among the crowd of shoppers and spontaneously performed the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.
Here’s the description of the event from YouTube:
On Saturday, October 30, 2010, the Opera Company of Philadelphia brought together over 650 choristers from 28 participating organizations to perform one of the Knight Foundation’s “Random Acts of Culture†at Macy’s in Center City Philadelphia. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ – the world’s largest pipe organ – the OCP Chorus and throngs of singers from the community infiltrated the store as shoppers, and burst into a pop-up rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah†at 12 noon, to the delight of surprised shoppers.
