This has to be one of my favorite 'flash mobs', Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".   From 2012.  I looked up Banco Sabadell, and it's a Spanish bank, but since here it's configured "Banc de Sabadell", I'm wondering if this square is in France...

Starts slow, tentative and soft, ends triumphantly.   Love the little kids climbing poles, "conducting" jubilantly.

If Martians came down to earth, saw this, they'd have a good peek into the human heart.

Nice interlude:

An orchestra and a choir. Just beautiful and what joy!

Thanks for scouting up more info, @Sushismom and @Foxxee .   What I wouldn't give to wander into a square like that in Europe, or anywhere, and be regaled like that...

Joyful "flash mob."  It just proves once again how music brings everyone together.  Fantastic.

Wonderful!  Thank you.

Also, if you go down the right hand side, you can click on Michael Flately in Riverdance, spectacular!!!

Thank you @Oznell .  It brought tears to my eyes and chills up my spine to witness the spontaneous joy and freedom to gather together and just enjoy the music and the children's reactions.  I miss those times.
