The. Clarinet one was amazing too!
Lol
YEAH I LOVED THAT!🤣
“Don’t mind us, we’ll just sneeeakily roll a FREAKING HARP onto the floor”
🤣🤣🤣
Don't be suspicious, dooon't be suspicious, DON'TBESUSPISHUS DOONNN'TBESUSPISHUS!
Was waiting for them to roll a Concert model d steinway into the space.
That needn’t be the first to accompany...but when further into the event...no?
wonder if he hid those big drums in his shopping bag
You can get harps like that just about anywhere these days. There’s probably a harp store right there in the mall.
My husband played the trombone, and when that trombone part came in, I was in a puddle of joyful tears.
The genius of Bolero is that it's basically two melodies repeated over and over using different instruments/groups of instruments in different textures and it stays in the same key (C major) until a few bars before the end where it suddenly moves up to E major, only to come crashing back down to C major in the last few bars. Such a simple idea, but Ravel thought of it first.
I come back to this performance ever so often and it always has me weeping tears of joy.
Love it and love the reaction it elicits from the crowd!
It's one of those experiences which makes you feel good to be alive and restores your faith in humanity!
Ravel's description of Bolero - "an orchestral fabric without music."
Did Bolero point to early symptoms of Ravel's progressive primary aphasia?
Didn't know that but it's awesome , I have always loved it !
@@somaday2595 If you haven't already, look into "Unraveling Bolero" a painting by Anne Adams that was inspired by Bolero. Adams was chemist and cellular biologist that quit her career in science to follow her artistic interests. She created "Unraveling Bolero" in 1994 which is a bar-by-bar representation of the song. In 2002 she was diagnosed with progressive primary aphasia. RadioLab has a very good episode that covers both Adams and Ravel.
I don't play an instrument & I'm slightly tone-deaf (I can't distinguish the sound/notes of some instruments) so, I didn't realize that each repetition was played by a different musical instrument. I finally found this out at a pre-concert talk by the Conductor of my local symphony. That evening's performance took on a whole different meaning for me as I looked toward each instrument's section waiting for it to join in. It was delightful.
One of my favourite pieces of music
When people can't come to the arts, the arts can come to them.
If only it were to happen more often
So deep kind sir
And auto-tune gets detained by a metal detector!
Wow oh my god you're such a benevolent thinker
❤️
Bless the drummer guy for maintaining that rhythm the whole time without losing his mind 👌👌👌
Fr tho even for 5 minutes I won't be able to do that
That's what we drummers do bro. Keep time
@@nickhaynie5980 you are an underappreciated asset to this world
We’re used to it haha
@@gormauslander thank you :)
I am amazed at how many people bring their musical instruments when they go shopping!
Musician here! Seeing all of these wonderful comments about the people in my profession just warms my heart so much! Thank you for helping to keep the spirit of classical music alive my friends!♥️♥️♥️
restored my faith in human nature , oh how would haved loved to have been there . ( tears tripping me ) thanks to all involved 🙍🏻♂️
Someday classical music will be forgotten. What a terrible thought
I keep this video posted to my FB page so I can watch it every time I need a boost.
Brings me happy tears every time. 🥲
As long as there is still music to appreciate, and the people who appreciate it, music will live on forever. Especially true of the legit classics like this.
Keep bringing music to the people.
I don’t know who first started these flash mob sessions, but what a marvellous idea to uplift people’s spirits!
Totally agree...🇿🇦
I was on the Metro in Paris when a three-piece band (with amplifier) jumped into the carriage I was travelling in. Between that station and the next, they played the Lambada and it was so joyful that by the time they jumped off everybody had a smile on their face. That was nearly 30 years ago, and I still remember it clearly to this day - also with a smile on my face🤗
I totally agree. God bless those people who brought happiness , class, peace, love, harmony, education and social education of this sort to the public’s who may never have experienced this education in their lifetime. So proud of my nation!
JAZZ MAN --- My favorite is Antwerp station from a long time ago.This video was uploaded in 2009. It makes me toe tappin' happy every time I watch it. It's a big group, it took a lot of rehearsal. Wikipedia says it was close to 200 people. AND, best of all, the singer is someone we all adore, and the song is one we all know. 😊 Enjoy.

This is why we pay them. This is why we build concert halls for them. This is why their life is their profession and passion. We owe musicians an important role in our society. We SHOULD NEVER forget that. This is their legacy and their time. It should be all the time. Talent must be endorsed, rewarded and propagated.
It's what we are.
Unless they work for the Kennedy Center where they furlough their musicians after getting $25M Covid-19 bailout dollars.
Kummer45.
If you as a private individual want to donate, or if those musicians want to go out and fundraise they have that ability, more power to them.
What's not okay is spending tax payer dollars on music, not the role of the state.
chill
@@marshallsamford3240 yeah you tell him! its not okay to spend taxpayer dollars on helping out the taxpayers!... oh wait
@@Phnxkon If products or services have no sustainability economically on their own, they have no right to take from taxpayers. You can help taxpayers by not diverting their hard earned money into things they wouldn't normally buy, and if there is enough economic sustainability why mist they be government subsidized to begin with? Your not helping taxpayers, your "helping" the taxpayers who happen to be in that mall on that day who enjoy music, otherwise your justifying theft on one person for the enjoyment of another. You have a right to your own labor and nobody can eat from the fruit of your labor without your consentual transaction.
The wee child reaching to touch the 'cello was the best moment ❤️
Four years later: I'm sitting here in tears and I have no idea why. Just the brilliance of this and the skill of all sorts of musicians from everywhere. Hadn't heard these for a while.
So do I... ❤
@@KrzysztofTomecki Me too.
Me too....im so moved by this ❤
The folks with the music sheets strapped to their backs for the people behind them who couldn't get a music stand is the best and most thoughtful touch here. ^_^
Agreed! I had to bump a comment just to help trigger Algorithm, and liked this one :D
Brilliant!!!
🇬🇧Well spotted all
1:54. The cellist with the young girl made me smile.
Omg...you still alive...?...😂
Ye me too
Incredible idea to have the instrumentalists walk up to the scene and join in. As a violinist, this has been my all time favorite classical piece since childhood, by Maurice Ravel. Well done my friends!
Mine as well. ❤this 🎶 🎵
The guy waving the stick is cringy. Barely any musician there can see him. Blind people play in orchestras. He does fuck all yet takes centre stage.
I'm a clarinet much stronger in this piece
I love how they play off the acoustics in the building.
I can't imagine what this sounded like.... And... would have sounded soo diferent in each individual location
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I like "Ravel's Bolero", but THIS??? was magnificent!! Those acoustics were perfect!! You can't BUY acoustics like that!!
imagine this just being a bunch of random guys joining in like that subway saxophone battle lol
Watched that right before this
@@nickreilly6230 same wtf
Yeah that’s what atheist say about Origen of universe. Just pure randomness
I love how I instantly knew the video you meant out of the millions of video's on the internet
@@nickreilly6230 saaame lol I was gonna comment that as well
Respect for these professionals years studying music. Thank you for doing this short classic concert most people cannot go to a classic or opera concert.
Women were rarely to never hired by orchestras. The audition team would sigh and "We're not prejudiced. They're just not good enough."
Someone had a simple brilliant idea. Don't let the team see the musician. Women even take off their heels so the tap tap doesn't give them away.
BOING!
Suddenly the women were being hired. 😁💖

We need so much more of this in the world. Everyone just sprinkle joy and talent around. It's does us all good.
We sure do! I had the biggest smile on my face throughout the entire performance.
Tout à fait ! Yes indeed !
Someone will figure it out how to make this pleasure political!
Spine tingling that... so good.
Totally amazed watching it over, the amount of people walking into shops and just walking past - I mean come on...
I see a comment like yours in just about every flash mob video involving singing, dancing, or playing instruments. Surely you must understand that not everyone shares your same interest or love for music. It’s totally understandable that some people stop because they’re curious about the music, but then they move on. Maybe some people like the music, but they move on because they have more pressing matters.
Not gonna lie, that trombone solo was amazing.
I wished I had that kind of tone
As a trombone I can appreciate the solo
Just out of curiosity bc I really dont know anything about brass: Does he have to gliss in the solo?
@@lucagethmann7682 Yes.
@@lucagethmann7682 100% he does. That's why the solo was for trombone.
Love it how all the musicians seemingly come out of nowhere as the musics consistency is building...
😊
magine you brought Ravel back to life, you are his guide showing him the modern life and you end the day going to a mall and these instrumentists appear from nowhere starting playing Bolero.
I love that there are a few musicians with sheet music clipped to their backs.
This is why I always carry around a cowbell. Just in case.
sailcat662 lol
I gotta have more cowbell !
you never know, do you????
lol
@@kbflorida888 the prescription says "More cowbell!"
nobody: a person on the escalator coming down from heaven with a double bass
I would love to see that.. I play double bass in jazz

@tired log
I meant in real life lol
Ohh lawd he comin
Kind of reminds you fo PRESIDENT TRUMP coming down that GOLDEN ESCALATOR in TRUMP PLAZA with his heavenly bride and child standing next to his side...Just the way it should be right
Brilliant how they organised that. The power of music.
Absolutely fantastic.
Doing this in public is a wonderful way to introduce other types of music to those that might never have heard it otherwise too.

Hello Kate
How are you doing today?
@@thompsonsmith7798
It's a good day here.
How about you?
@@kateburns8126 I'm good thanks for asking
Where are you fromif i may ask?
*this video has inspired me to bring my clarinet where ever I go.*
@The Crazy Pianist me too with my pipe organ
J would do the same with my oboe but ya know oboes are kinda usually are extremely expensive and made out of wood so like big no to high risk of damage
i always carry by bass, amp, v-amp and stand and all the cables and analog tuner wherever i go. you never know....
Caleb times have change... you have to carry a gun now. Someone might be offended by classical music.
I always carry my 10 pound tenor sax case around, along with my clip on tuner, 3 music binders, and 2 music stands and a chorus of random piccilos and trumpets to boost my ego
It's funny because the guy with the timpanis was actually just a random shopper who happened to have his timpanis on him.
Lol 😂
@@trashvalley play of course
Eisteebastard Graxum stupid
@@maxisatube you mean r/wooosh.
@@trashvalley Obviously somebody that wants to be prepared in case an orchestra shows up that he can play with.
The only bad thing about these performances are that they have an end. Awesome to see the joy on everyone present and see spirits lifted (mine absolutely were); we definitely need more of this!
I love bolero -introduced to my 7th grade class of music appreciation. Teacher said close your eyes and let your mind take you there, the March to the bull fight, these musicians brought tears to my eyes.
Hello Sharon
How are you doing today?
When someone shows up with a harp, you know shit is about to get real.
When you find yourself sitting on a cloud holding a harp......You know shit GOT real....
Lol
Always does.
Indeed!
Lol
This is the first time in like 5 years I heard the flute being heard
You heard it being heard? That's mightily impressive. Is that the sound of someone's eardrum vibrating?
What
@@ethanisnothere1375 To quote you, "I heard the flute being heard". Hearing "hearing" itself is an incredible feat.
I'm a flute player
@@ethanisnothere1375 Oh I think I get what your original comment meant... Flutes usually get drowned out by the rest of the orchestra, but in this video it got a chance to be heard?
I love this!! The only reason these people did this was to bring joy into other peoples lives! God bless them!
How cool that these shoppers were all there with their instruments!
Amidst a world of so much cacophony emerges this uplifting musical healing event. I’m literally in tears. God bless all of you for using your talents so surprisingly and so elegantly
I get it. I'm with you, John. 100%
Me too!
Yes! Yes! 100%. I’m glad it wasn’t just me!
Ummm, yeah hun, allergies 🤥
Yeah me too, it's fantastic. Both the piece and the performance -- exquisite. You have to consider what a privilege it is for someone to have created something that continues to bring joy to so many long after their passing. It's a form of immortality and permanent philanthropy.
everyone else: coming in normally
double bassist: coming down a fucking escalator
literally half the people in the mall at the beginning were in on that, I would find it so funny to see a small little performance and then a random ass dude behind you just pulls out a trumpet and starts playing, and then all the people next to you just pull out other instruments
Like a boss.
So cool!
That was amazing.
I have this pinned to my page and still watch it whenever I need a break from the world.
I just love it.
Thank you, Opera North. Bravo. 👏
It's July 30th 2023. For some reason I've been watching Ennio Morricone for the last hour. Which led me here, which reminded me of my 10 year old self wearing headphones listening to my dad's vinyl of Ravels Bolero over 40 years ago. My dad died over 10 years ago. Never really think about him, as he was not a particularly nice man. But strangely, right now I wish more than anything I could speak to him. The power of music will never diminish. 💙
I just love how they are wearing the sheet music
on they’re back so the person behind then can read it
their* im sorry
That's how they do it in standing orchestras sometimes
Oh, and stupid me was thinking that it must be hard to play the right notes with the music hanging on your back.
imagine some guy that none of them know walked up and started playing
I thought he did actually, the clarinet guy didn't quite hit it right. Did you notice that? : (
I wish that actually happened
lucy n it did happen
just want imagine
The cameramen is everywhere
日本もこんなのがあったらな〜
このどんどん現れて最後に完成する感じ好き
Impossibly beautifully played. Such joy this brings. My 2 year old granddaughter asks for it all the time and hums along Ravel’s melody. Thank you for introducing her to classical music so early in life without having to take her to a concert hall. From Canada, thank you again.

This brought back a beautiful memory from 1965, was in a humanities class in high school in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan where "Bolero" found me. A short few months later the Detroit Symphony Orchestra appeared at our high school, in the gym no less, and performed "Bolero". Bravo all of the musicians world wide!!!
Hello Leslie
How are you doing today?
There’s no greater feeling than being a part of the band!
its a fuckin awesome feelin. especially when, early in your pursuit of an instrument to play, you jump in with musicians much better than yourself, ride it out, andddddddddd you got to the end. your brain catches up with your fingers and its an addiction. i love that feelin.
So much admiration for the percussionist who started this. That takes some doing to keeep that rhythm going.
Last year our local symphony, Prague, was led by the 12 yr old sn of the main percussioist
Just imagine you just go for shopping and just got a free ticket for this concert
and you are secretly also carrying around an instrument and join in
@@-loarado yeah hahaha. That's sounds great though

Nicely done. Malls are perfect for this. Thank Torvil & Dean at the Olympics for helping to popularise this piece, which is so ideal for flash mobs!
Anything that puts smiles on people faces like this gets my wholehearted support! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad I wasn't the only one with tears in my eyes. Music can move even the unmovable.
I'm here in February 2023 and felt the same way!

Best flash mob ever. I’m so jealous that I’m never out when something like this happens. I’ve played that song so many times, but never has it made me emotional. 🥰
That was not a flash mob. This was a pre-arranged performance.
Ditto!
@@theoriginaldashriprock do you think flash mobs are just a bunch of random people that happen to know all the choreography to a particular song and are willing to burst into said dance, in public, at the drop of a hat? 🤨
@@user-pt1cz4ot1e a flash mob is made up of random people, yes. Who answered a call from social media to show up at a particular place at a particular time. What is in this video was not a flash mob. It was a planned performance. The musicians didn't just show up on their own. Notice how they came out of random doors, where their cases and other belongings are? Nobody brings big drums and large instruments to a flash mob.
@Blair Witch call it what you want.
had i been there i amm sure i would have been crying because of how beautiful it sounds
Fabulous fabulous! What a joy to be able to be there in person. As I watched I felt such laughter snd pleasure and joy hearing these generous musicians play this wonderful piece of music. One of my favorites.

So absolutely exquisite! I know this wasn't spontaneous, but it looks as though it was. Professional perfection.
I love the way the musicians just appear, like grass growing after the rain.....out of nowhere!
Flash mobs are amazing. They were a "thing" a few years ago & haven't heard or seen one in a long time.
I have seen one in Vienna two years ago. Its amazing. And a very good idea
An everyone just falls right in
This is my all time favorite song. And when you hear it live, it just makes my heart BURST with happiness. How lucky all those people were to get a free concert by such talented musicians. These are grown men performing and the next generation learning from their elders, what JOY. I'm a drummer but I can't keep that rhythm of the drummer. He's also not a kid. Such a professional.
Digging your positive vibes my guy
Where can i find the lyrics?
@@ScienceFan1859 There are no lyrics to this song. Haven't you ever heard of The Classics? These are songs written in the 1600, 1700 and 18th centuries. People enjoyed music for the sake of the song .... no lyrics.
@@passion777able those are pieces or compositions, work (opus).Songs are lyrical. They Have words
Expand your vocabulary. BTW star trek, bonanza & hogan's heroes all are songs but they play instrumental for shows.
Absolutely magnificent!!! Ive heard this piece played in concert halls for decades but the assembledge of sound growing as this orchestra assembled in this mall was awesome!!
I LOVE the cellist coming down the escalator. This is beyond superb. So lucky that particular public was that day. This is almost impossible for the musicians to time, given their physical separation from each other. WoWWW. Much, much respect.
Casually riding the escalator with yer double bass as you do 😁
Yes, as a double bass player in my high school orchestra (and yes, we did play classical--quite well), that made _my_ day! (I surprised someone in a hallway of the school while carrying _two_ basses, one under each arm hanging onto them by the f-holes, while going between the classroom and the auditorium. They're quite light, just bulky.)
Hello Lexie......
This came up on my feed again and I just wanna say: that trombonist playing the solo is everything I want to be in life. My dude is just fuckin *living* it.
I noticed the French horn. Glorious sound.
Like the music. More
Actually touched my soul
Do More of this! I'm moved beyond anything in current times. Stand together, we can do anything! Truly inspiring
Music is the best thing humans ever created.
As a musician myself, there is nothing more heart warming than playing music and everyone clapping and smiling after hearing what you create. It makes you feel like you did an important job to someone you didn’t know needed it. It makes you smile like nothing before, making you so happy that you could make so many others smile too.
Watching music played at its highest potential with full enjoyment from the musicians and the listeners makes me feel happy and I start to cry. It's a passion
You cry because it's like seeing into the mind of God and getting just a glimpse of what He really created us to be, and in seeing it, your heart leaps for joy. I dare say we've heard plenty about Original Sin, but not NEARLY enough about Original Glory, which came first, and is more true to our nature.
@@darrinrice367 Amen Darrin. I needed to hear that!
I'm the same - something resonates powerfully deep in my soul, and I always cry. 💖
Glad I’m not the only one who got attacked by invisible onions while watching this video! It truly did things to me
Amazing and loved the woman musician that allowed the little child to touch her stringed instrument. Very kind, and who knows, the child may end up playing too because of the positive reinforcement she was given.
It gets even better when you think about how this was a surprise performance and the conversations that must have preceded it… “Why are you staring at me, can’t a guy bring his tuba to the mall?”
I would rather see this than a whole Madonna concert. One of my all time favorite songs, done for the absolute fun of it.
Wasn't Madonna "Spanish" for a while?
You couldn’t pay me to go watch Madonna.
Yes, I concur. There's a reason why music like this stands the test of time, as opposed to people like Madonna who are eventually forgotten about.
As sometimes obnoxious as she is, Madonna is and will continue to be a remembered pop star, at least. She made a big impression on 7th grade girls I was around, insofar as they tried to dress like her as much as possible. She was an icon of female "Knowing" in her time, the '80s.
@@tomfrazier1103 Madonna was as important to the 1980's and 90's as Elvis was to the 1950's and 60's. Possibly not the best music and lyrics ever written, yet important in their time. Like Elvis, she was not a one hit wonder and is definitely recognized for her contribution to music. Is their music as good as Bolero? No, yet made an impact.
I'm so proud of them sharing their gift with others in such a friendly way. Awesome!!!
It was amazing to "walk through the music" and experience it from different aural perspectives.
A shopping mall has never been so classy. :)
when I was a child Ravel's Bolero was my introduction to classical music - how great it is and God bless these wonderful musicians!
Same here! My mom played it every day during dinner!
Me too! My Grandmother always played this, Canon, her Segovia album, and lots of Gershwin. RIP Grandma 👵
GOD, that trombone solo is by far my favorite part of this whole thing.
I honestly strive to be able to play that well, man.
Oh simply GLORIOUS!! Thank you one and each of you involved...
These music surprises should be made compulsory throughout the world, no wars, just beautiful music. ❤

WOW! I love that the musicians are at different places throughout the mall. The acoustics were no doubt magnificent.
Beautifully played! Exquisite piece of music, not what you expect to hear in a shopping mall. Bolero is gorgeous & these instrumentalists are top notch! Beautiful tone.
It is beautiful to see how the shopping frenzy spontaneously gives way to a cultural experience.
Absolutely fantastic! Wish I had seen this live, what a privilege.
Hello Jennifer
How are you doing today?
Music: raises one's vibration, unites us, and enhances our frequency with The Universe.
LOVE!
LOVE!
Bravo! Masterfully done! Brought tears to my eyes to see the joy on the faces of both musician and audience alike. That little girl who got to touch the cello and the gentleman who crashed his hands together with the cymbals. Tugged at my heart strings.
Loved that, and would have loved being there ! I thank each of you who provided such unique experience to all shoppers ! You guys ROCK !
