Tchaikovsky Flashwaltz at Hadassah Hospital

/ hadassah
Forty students from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance took a classical approach to the flashmob as they flashwaltzed Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers at the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower in Jerusalem. Doctors, patients and passers-by joined in the fun.
The surprise concert was part of Good Deeds Day, an annual event that originated in Israel in 2007 and now takes place in over 50 countries worldwide. On this day volunteers reach out to the less fortunate and the vulnerable.
The Academy students enjoyed the day so much that they have decided to schedule regular concerts at the hospital. Hadassah Medical Organization treats over one million patients annually, without regard to race, religion or national origin.

[@jimmykouba4494]

I never imagined I would hear or see a clip of music from Jerusalem. Thank you God, for now I have. And it's Tchaikovsky. One of my favorite composers. I truly enjoyed this flash mob. I appreciated seeing the girl in the wheelchair being entertained. The older couple dancing. The many smiles. And the happiness that radiated throughout the hospital floor. In which it brought a smile to my face and lifted my heart. The joy, love, peace and music has shattered and transcended over into neighboring cities, countries, over miles of oceans. What hate has tried to stop. We are resilient people who want a World of Peace, Love and Joy that encompasses what God bestowed on us. May this remaining year and the New Year, be of peace and joy and the hate and violence no longer be of threat. Israel is one of the places I would love to visit some day. Shalom, from MN, USA.

One of my very favorite Flashmobs - because it is done in a hospital to bring joy somewhere that definitely needs it. To see the little ones in the wheelchairs with smiles on their faces, and the lovely little dancer, and the couple waltzing to the music. Just marvelous indeed! And what fantastic musicians these are - the sound is amazing. Just shows the power of music to bring even just a brief moment of magic into a person's life. Reminds me when my son played his cello for his adopted grandfather who was in a nursing home. He just played it in the room, just for him, but when I went to close the door so not to disturb the other residents, there were almost a dozen in the hallway, outside their own doors, listening. I will never forget that moment, I hope he doesn't either.
