I happened to come across two videos recently, both of which I enjoyed so much I thought I’d share them here.
These videos are beautiful, not only from a musical perspective, but even more importantly, from a humanity perspective. They both gave me goosebumps, and the first one actually made me tear up a little! *I think there’s something in my eye…*blink blink*.
And videos like these lead me to believe that perhaps there’s hope for humanity after all…
Anyway, this first video is of a flashmob at Plaça de Sant Roc in Sabadell, Spain (just north of Barcelona), involving the participation of 100 musicians and singers from the Vallès Symphony Orchestra, Amics de l’Òpera de Sabadell, Coral Belles Arts, and Cor Lieder Camera, performing Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in 2012 during the 30th anniversary celebration of Banco Sabadell):
Next, this video features Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, performed in the streets of Paris—is one of the best I’ve seen!
(I’ve since learned that the lead vocalist is Mickey Callisto from Sunderland, England, and the 12-year-old guitar prodigy is Olly Pearson from Wales).
Absolutely amazing…and absolutely a must-share!
Enjoy:
Anyway, just wanted to send y’all some good cheer as we enter the new year! I hope 2024 is awesome for all of you!
