We need a break from depressing news about torture and what better than some good music?
I love these flash mobs that pop up in public spaces to play the great classical pieces. And there are few pieces more suited to this kind of street art than the last movement from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, a magnificent piece that never fails to move me however many times I hear it. And since this took place at a street fair in Nurenberg, Germany, there was the added bonus that many of the spectators actually knew the words and could join in on the choral parts.

Beautiful!

Bravo.
“Ode to Joy” is one of my favorite pieces of music.

This adaptation isn’t half bad either.
