I once wrote about the http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/som-sabadell-flashmob/ in Spain performing Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”. An orchestra is a community, a strong community, maybe even with morality, with a certain readiness to take social responsibility. My friend Akbar Simonse introduced the orchestra of his Dutch hometown The Hague / Den Haag, The Netherlands, supporting a street musician:

Reblogged this on Simon Sundaraj-Keun.
It was a wonderful happening….:-)
dank je wel for your document, dear denker!
I think flash mobs are great. It takes a lot to perform in front of many people and hope that they do not get upset. These passengers look quite pleased to have the musicians playing. I would, too. Lovely song … great post.

More music in the subways NOW….
I LOVE flashmobs because everyone ends up happy and smiling! What a brilliant idea to play in a subway!
A surprising idea,
Makes me happy and brings a smileon my face
ein arbeitsloses Orchester in Spanien, auf dem Arbeitsamt?
Look at all those smiling faces! Wonderful, huh?
Love the idea of orchestra as a morality.
Completely enjoyable post.
yes Jamie, orchestra as a morality – many could, if they would! on the other hand, playing alone like the old masters of blues guitar has a hidden message too (like many book authors): it is important to do one’s own matter – with some self reliance, not waiting weakly for the help of others …

Indeed. I believe that is true as well. One must have integrity and focus …
Bravo, Frizz!
