Flash mob at Copenhagen Central Station. Copenhagen Phil playing Ravel's Bolero.

[@DalokiMauvais]

I come back and watch this every six months or so, and it still gives me big smiles and makes the room brighter.

[@olgarodriguez7530]

I do the same.

[@jodyswan5863]

Still my favorite flash mob! This “song” is incredible. This orchestra is excellent. I just love how musicians really do know how to make beautiful music together!

[@A_M_638]

They lift our frequencies.

I love all the parents that are pointing out things to their kids, or even just sitting and hugging them. Helping them to gain an appreciation of it too.

[@jenniferchough]

there's something charming, wonderful, and magical about hearing music outside of the concert hall/theater and listening to musicians play their instruments with great enjoyment in their street clothes. father sitting down with his kids at 1:06 was lovely. thank you to all the musicians for lugging their sometimes heavy instruments out and bringing music to the people.

[@j.michaelpeek3260]

This performance makes my heart soar every time. Thank you, Copenhagen Phil.

[@auroramarquezmoreno5329]

Nine years ago nobody knows about the pandemia but we are here and enjoy this beautiful bolero.

[@A_M_638]

what pandemia?

[@chrisbodum3621]

I'm sure I can speak on behalf of everyone from Nottingham who sat down to watch live television coverage of Torvill and Dean from the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics. Even though the outcome is always the same and is written in history, this music stills sends shivers down my spine as I recall that performance. I am instantly transported back to that exact same feeling, that same electricity and the euphoria of seeing such a performance. Thanks to all involved, there is something that really just makes it work well with a crowd and they can't all be associating it with Torvill and Dean !

[@DalokiMauvais]

That's another video that, like this one, I come back and watch frequently. I don't associate the two because each is a masterpiece in its own form. Euphoria is a very good word for my response to each performance, too.

[@winreacts6528]

1:03 I like how that old man knows that he will be there awhile so he sits down and his little nieces/etc. sits down with him. There is so much meaning in that that I can't even explain. lol

[@theolamp5312]

Tony Nguyen I agree - But I would like to add that the man has a lot of youth in him.

[@effyleven]

Theo Lamp Perhaps he was expecting the full-length version... that lasts 20 minutes!

[@lc3763]

Tony Nguyen Its an appreciation of something special taking place. Great observation.

[@uksole]

Yes, similarly the elderly lady at the end who looks like she can't believe what just happened ...8-)

[@mothmagic1]

That caught my eye too. Mind you I'd have done the same with my grandchildren too.

[@flossie5432]

All those people who have never been to a live classical music concert suddenly being treated to one - that must be a rare treat-and all the children noticing for the first time, maybe, how rich and vibrant an orchestra can be.I'd love to be a part of an experience like this.I think it would make me smile for the rest of the day.Thank you Copenhagen Phil:

[@dr.kenmahood4917]

After listening to about a dozen flashmob's performing Ravel Bolero ---this is without any doubt the very best! Wish I could have been there!

[@soak1709]

Agree with you!! I love the Bolero and this is an outstanding performance !!

[@fakecubed]

I wish flash mobs would choose some new music instead of the same three songs I hear in every video.

[@yvonnewheeler6230]

Ditto simply the best ♥️

Overwhelming, stirring, deeply emotional! What incredible talent and generosity...need more of this in the world.

[@thereds1959]

I’ve watched this video plenty of times since it was released on KZbin and every time it gets better and the reaction of the audience is amazing. ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@MrCervuselaphus]

what is it that draws me back again and again to this performance.? Its the people the music the sedate civilisation.

[@DavidSchultz-r1r]

I needed a happy minute today, so I listened to this again.

[@royroyston8480]

Brilliant, heart warming and special. Sometimes the world is not such a bad place.

[@tejjensen9402]

The acoustics at Copenhagen Central Station are really good.

[@jmrebueno]

This is so heart warming! May more artists have the hearts to share without counting the costs. God bless all of you.

[@thomascarlsen]

this happens from time to time at Copenhagen Central. Its lots of diff. events that happens ... comming out of nowere... preforming ..... and then disapering into the crowed again. Have seen it my self a few times ... just amazing. :D

[@ronaldderooij1774]

The understatement of just finishing the song and immediately packing up and mingle with the crowd is what made this hilarious. Well done, by the way. I always wonder how the musicians on the flute and harp feel about this piece. The flute begins, but later on is indescernable. As is the harp.

[@uranrising]

A wonderful way to present classical music: in ordinary clothes, in a very public place, entering and leaving by stealth, seemingly just for the fun of it and playing so well and utterly without pretension. I'd like to hear the whole repertoire in this manner lol Congrats to the Copenhagen Phil and all such performances.

[@danyaradimacher6581]

Ravels Bolero is one of my favourites and how awesome it was for the flash mob to play it at their local train station, well done :)

[@Gunshy55]

Beautiful...I can't imagine a world without music....

[@sandgaijin]

I know exactly where this is! I went to visit Copenhagen this past summer and had a great time. There's a shot of the McDonald's within the station and I sat against the wall facing it as I waited for my train. I wish there was a flash mob then to pass the time.

[@helenlauer9465]

what an absolutely fabulous way to advertise a performing group. god bless them. These events sort of pull the magic of every waking moment straight out of the air. they put the mystical smack in the middle of the open. there's nothing like it. uplifting even on youtube. imagine how it feels when you are THERE.

[@grandpa999999999]

Absolutely marvelous. brings tears of joy to my eyes

[@peonord1093]

perfect place for this type of flash mob... fits very well with the music

[@SMGAPR8]

Awesome, always think of Torvill and Dean and that fantastic Bolero on ice , ❤️👏👏🇬🇧

[@daveking2184]

Random acts of awesomeness. Brings a tear to the minds eye. Beautiful!

[@Mekratrig]

Another random act of kindness and senseless beauty. And then they just fade away into the nooks and crannies and it's as if it was a brief, wonderful dream. Marvelous! Bravo!

[@asadared6514]

Estoy de acuerdo contigo hermano lo veo así también

[@maddalenaalesse8091]

Bellissima musica, non stanca mai, questi musicisti che suonano all'aperto permettendo a tanti di assistere.....perché non tutti si possono permettere di andare a teatro... grazie!!!! ❤

[@Neocharm]

Still brings tears to my eyes

[@benli7049]

I lost how many counts I watched this flash mob. I still enjoy watching it. I still remember the first time I heard Bolero. It was my high school years. Gee. Time flies.

[@bergamasque3743]

I've listened to this song for my whole life on my record player. Hearing it like this makes me want to cry.

[@yvonnewheeler1765]

makes me cry watched it over and over goose bumps

[@paddybee4685]

love the guy at 1:04 "right kids, sit down with me, this is going to be epic". :-)

I hope i will ever experience this kind of flash mob where i stay, this moves me. Watching this interaction and great music made me eyes wet. Great music, great place and what a groovy way to perform this.

[@fernandomunoz2377]

In many of these videos I have seen children enjoying the music. They get music with their children´s heart. No words, only music. I love these videos!

[@ronkirk5099]

Ravel's Bolero is always a crowd pleaser especially how it builds to a rousing finish!

I love the Dad at 1:05 . Just like *Sit down kids, your day will be so much better after this:"

Absolutely amazing! it gave me chills! Bravo! Music should be shared like this out in the open more often. blessings to the performers who did so well and obviously had such a wonderful time doing it!

This sets the standard for how a flash mob video should be done. I've seen scores of videos of flashmob on KZbin and none are better than this one.

Awesome! A wonderful way to introduce culture to people who might not have heard it otherwise. I love that you can see the passion for music on the faces of these musicians! Thank you!

Tack till våra danska vänner, det var snyggt.

[@jimmykouba4494]

Bravo. Cudos to the conductor. Wow! Amazing no better place than in a beautiful train station. Thought it was meaningful when the guy with the kids sat down knowing that something grand was going to take place. And the lady looking confused when its over. Priceless. As fast as it started its over. For a few minutes people were able to savor a sense of peace and calm from their daily lives. Thank you for all your hard work and uploading these. Viewing these gives me an opportunity to glimpse part of your country I can put down on my list of "must see".

[@WhiteTiger333]

I especially liked seeing the audience who were enjoying because they knew exactly what they were hearing and how it was going to play out.

And there is the difference, you wont see old people stop to see a flashmob performing any music from whats out there now but play a classic piece of classical music and young and old will stop to appreciate it

Music that stirs your soul. One second there is an orchestra there, the next second there is not, the lady at the end looks confused and I started thinking that there's something deep to the whole flash mob thing, one second it's there the next it's not, life is short, celebrate, have fun.

What a magical, elevating and touching experience; the passion of the musicians; the engagement of the people, the children and parents and busy commuters as they nodded, smiled and absorbed the music together; the look of wonder, delight and appreciation on all the faces. It reminded me of the beauty in art and music, its unifying power and, most importantly, how important it is to support musicians and artists: Music and art cultivate and sustain the humanity in us all.
