Flashmob: Som Sabadell

Mon, 9 Jul 2012

I love a good flashmob video, especially when it involves the use of classical music.

In this video, a little girl throws a coin into a bassist busker’s hat who then begins to play and slowly, a full orchestra gradually emerges in the town square of Sabadell, Spain to play Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. And while the audio quality is a little too clean and to have been recorded on location, the effect of the music and the giddy reactions of the crowd are too good to completely care about such details.
