A Random Act of Culture

[chrishansenhome]

What a wonderful idea! It's a musical flashmob in the Great Court of Macy's in Philadelphia. The largest pipe organ in the world and more than 600 singers present Handel's "Hallelujah" Chorus to a store-ful of startled shoppers, some of whom are joining in. Bringing music out of the concert hall and into the public arena is a great thing. I wish they had something like this here in the United Kingdom. It was organised by Random Acts of Culture, and if they have an event near you, go! Here's the video from Macy's (once Wanamaker's):
