XMAS Flash Mob @ the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

[@amyd3754]

Every holiday I watch this video. And every time, without fail it gives me the chills and I find myself welling up with emotion. I simply can’t get enough of his voice. This entire performance leaves me feeling…🥹❤

[@EBPAmes]

Exactly Amy- I listen to this as a reminder of the awe and joy of Christmas.

[@seanconroy3567]

Same

[@mikeguerrieri5045]

Same. Possibly the most beautiful musical arrangement I’ve ever heard.

[@amyl8161]

Same! Here every Christmas to hear this angelic song.

[@gabrieldegloria9606]

Same I try to share it with everyone

[@MPROULX2]

I still listen to this every year too 😊

[@alansmith2998]

As I've done every year since this video was first published, it is the first Christmas song I watched. It's become a tradition I plan to continue indefinitely as it is, without exception, the most beautiful rendition of this song I've heard over my 72 years! Outstanding...simply outstanding.

[@lancehough4180]

I think I have watched this video every year since it was first released. It still fills me with the same awe, immense gratitude, and sheer delight that it did a decade ago. Thank you to all who were involved with this incredible performance. ❤🥹

[@pcmaclean]

we were there. we were talking with friends just outside the cafe and totally taken by surprise when we heard the music. It was an absolutely sublime musical experience.

[@tishnsteve]

Way cool, Peter.

[@joannewsome5202]

Where was this? The music is exceptional especially if they are just students

[@pcmaclean]

It was at the Museum of Fine Arts , Boston. I imagine they were Berklee and/ or NE Conservatory students

[@Gubbins05]

I understand this comment is 8 years old but I was also there. In the beginning shots you see the kid perk up on his chair with the white button down. That was me. 18 years old now and I'll watch this video every year. It was absolutely bewildering

[@jessicajones251]

This has got to be one of the best renditions of 'O Holy Night' I have ever heard. I want this guy to come live in my house and sing to me every day! #FavoriteChristmasSongEver

[@janecarolhogue3140]

If not the best❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@margaretm.5084]

THe soloist is Mark Joseph. I hope he has a brilliant career. And what a fine chorale and orchestra! I love this.

[@davidmommerency4589]

There’s your American idol right there folks. Beautiful voice. No auto tune. God has blessed this young man.

[@TheBuddyShowWorldwide]

It's December 24th 2020 and I'm in Guadalajara Mexico with tears running down my face. Peace on Earth and good will toward men.

[@jugglefire]

Peace Buddy!

[@젤리-b8g]

Every year, I return to this video. It's so beautiful.

[@johnkempton5269]

It's things like this that remind me that humanity still has a chance. We just have learn to love one another. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@alansmith2998]

As I've done since the time this video first appeared on KZbin, I've made it the first Christmas song that I listen to/watch each year. I don't think I've ever heard a more compelling and beautiful rendition of O Holy Night than that done here. It always has the same effect on me....brings tears of joy to my eyes. Beautiful...just beautiful.

[@DeAnnMorris]

Alan Smith, your sweet communication with Ro Rowan is also an incalculable gift.

[@LisaSullivan]

Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing the spirit of Christmas to the MFA and the interwebs. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[@melaniestetsonfreeman2025]

christmas berklee music student flash mob at boston's museum of fine arts...this is beautiful. gave me chills.

[@Spookypalooza]

To the Berklee students in Boston: My heart responds with joy and lightness. Thank you very much for your sharing your lovely gift with us this holiday season.

[@junecourage3447]

this is the creativity that makes America great - not the guns or the imperialism or the hate: I am not American, but when I see something like this I, too, love America

[@TheXavory]

Wow... sniff... I wasn't even in the Christmas spirit until that... sniff. Incredible! And, the soloist has a voice I want to hear more of! Fantastic... wiping tears.

[@clarafontes7375]

You can not say your not in the Christmas spirit until he sings. Chills, tears when he sings. Beautiful voice!!! Someone sign him asap

[@ladybyrd19]

Best rendition of have ever heard.

[@insaelliott1318]

I watch this video every single year and it makes me cry every time. So much grace...

[@supahonky9492]

Something special was captured in this... it was beautiful and moves your soul.

[@ladyjaneofdunans]

This young man and the other students need to perform on the Ellen Show. They'd bring down the house. Beautiful...just beautiful.

[@Blind2Society]

These are so much better than the typical flash mobs. These are the kind of performances you pay a lot of money to see. Truly brilliant.

[@mercedesrh888]

Most beautiful of all the " 'O holy night" songs I have heard. The singer's voice is fantastic! He is a Star or will be one.

[@shelleykeimach3047]

I am with P Ellyn- I have listened to this for three years at Christmas season and cry every single time. It is moving and gorgeous. I wish I had been at the MFA for this.

[@hockeypuckbrownies]

I was there! Me & my Sis were sitting in the cafe having lunch when they all wandered out. It was an incredibly beautiful thing to hear in person. These kids are SO talented it's crazy.

[@MrThom418]

Besides Jesus, I believe one of the Greatest Gifts God Gave Man, was MUSIC ! It touches the hearts, of so many. It can bring back memories of old, and it can lighten a somber gathering. Music touches everyone, no mater what. In this choral setting how can you not be touched by the intricate harmonies, and the words that were written. We are so often humbled by the majesty of such a beautiful performance.... We are BLESSED .. VERY BLESSED.. to be given a gift like this..

[@victoriaburns5128]

The 51 people who doesnt like this must not be in the holiday spirit this is beautiful.....

[@johndukelogan]

I think this is the first time in my life I've had the chills for more than 5 minutes...

[@shuluva1]

Boston, you're my home! This is stunningly beautiful.

[@CaM-dt6ni]

Mark Joseph: You are a star!!!!! Unbelievable voice!!!!!

[@griffintubridy8443]

I listen to this version and this version only of O' Holy Night every time Christmas rolls around ever since my Freshmen Spanish teacher Ms. Larivee showed it to my class the day before Christmas break. It honestly breaks all the sadness in life and shows me what the true meaning of joy is all about, brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it so thank you Berkeley school of music for this magnificent production.

[@sherribarker333]

Moved me past tears....cried my head off. I am now a life long fan of Mark Joseph. INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@wayfinder81]

Found this in 2013, now playing this for my 18 month old and she smiles every time the note goes high. Like watching a little angel listen to another angel sing. Purchased this, thank you for such beautiful art.

[@aidandermady8418]

I heard the voice(s) of angels...what beautiful gifts of God's grace... deepest thanks...

[@jancw]

This video has become part of my holiday tradition. Please never take it down.

[@griffintubridy8443]

same here listen every Christmas

[@mydogis2lu]

I love this arrangement... it sounds like the fluttering of angels around the manger. Mr. Joseph's singing puts Christ back in our hearts where He belongs. Thank you.

so berührend - unglaublich was Musik alles kann - tropft ungefiltert direkt ins Herz. Halleluja.

[@gretafiester8436]

{love love love this!} This has become my new favorite arrangement of the tune. Kudos to the Berklee crew & musicians and for the MFA to allow this to be staged in their space.

[@anativeoftexas]

BEAUTIFUL! Made me cry happy tears. Thank you. God bless you.

[@FUBAR2000]

+anativeoftexas Same here

[@pepesfrau]

Have you ever something so clear, so pure, so perfect that the beauty of it makes you weep? The first cry of a newborn, the perfect pitch of a young man singing his heart out. These are just a couple of things that bring tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[@librarygrlnh]

The lead singer's voice...what a gift. Loved it.

[@detectiverivers1556]

Flash Mob of Real Musicians is what this should be called! They all played perfectly, without seeking extra points of attention or trying to stand out. This singer... Unbelievable how this song lends itself to overextend and break, yet this man stays pitch perfect, instead of crying for attention, he draws people in with his timid way of singing for which this song was meant. This is a rare and outstanding performance!

[@danielueblacker9118]

Heaven on earth for a few precious moments. Thank you all.

[@strongsarah]

wow, his voice is amazing, I have goosebumps all over. :)

[@buenanuevatv]

Amen! Truly divine the night when Christ was born. Thank you for reminding the world the true meaning of Christmas!

[@MPROULX2]

Yup, I still watch this every Christmas season and it gets me every time 😊

[@3Weimz]

I love how everything and everyone just stopped and listened. No need to "hush" anyone, people just stopped at the sound. Thank you for bringing Christ to the center.

[@pellyn109]

DOWNLOADED! Yes! I have forwarded it to dozens of people and return to it regularly for three years now. The production, arrangement, performance and lead voice are all beyond amazing...almost inspired. I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear it. That alone amazes me. Wow! Glad I finally figured out how to download it. It will be played in my family for as long as I live....timeless.

[@PointyElbow]

He has the most beautiful voice--So clear and confident! Very well done, everyone.

[@jdodge349]

Loved it....soloist Mark Joseph was awesome.

[@jennifergracen3267]

I went to Berklee 20 yrs ago. So proud of my alma mater for this. Well done, people. Wonderful.

[@alibenoumhani2685]

Sophisticated sense of music

[@katrinaamelia759]

Such a beautiful performance.. It makes me tears up with joy.. Jesus bless you all..!!!

[@salcuta88]

Beautiful! This guy can sing! No autotune, better than Hollywood.

[@LynnePriceStudio]

This is one thing the Church did not steal from me - the love of O Holy Night. I am no longer a Christian but this song still makes me cry. This young man is an amazing and soulful singer,

[@kenbixby2911]

How can you be no longer a Christian? Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you believe that he died for our sins? If so, that's all God ask for us. I pray that you find the love and faith that you once had, in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

[@bobbihy]

I will add my Amen to Ken's and Scarlet, even if you think or feel that you are no longer a Christian, G-d still holds you in his flock, as do you hold a bit of Him in your heart in some manner because your comment was written with respect and you also do as Christians do often, we capitalize the word as well as the fact the song touches your heart. No disrespect to you with my comment, just that yours touched my heart, I pray for you too in Jesus name, Amen.

[@RyanSoundstv]

Scarlet Rakoczy dont let anyone steal what god has for you! It is a personal relationship which means it shouldnt matter what other people do as a christian because they will have to answer to god for their wrong doings. I pray that you find your own relationship with Jesus Christ yet again!!

[@pam2viph]

like the song says 'fall on your knees' and pour out all of yourself to Him - He longs for you to return to Him - read the story of the prodigal son in the Bible - that is OUR story! Jesus was born and gave His Life to reconcile us to God the Father! He loves you and is just waiting for you to call out to Him! He WILL hear and He WILL answer!

[@johnoconnor4623]

same here too, but I love how he sings all the notes. I have lost my religion and maybe will never regain it, but it does not bother me personally. However I love this lad singing.

[@janecarolhogue3140]

Love this video again❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@x86hero]

Overwhelmed! They showed this in church today and I had to come home and search for it. The service was about 'Awe', and this definitely made me awestruck!

[@Leslie9250]

How marvelous. They brought some soul to that gray souless space. If this happened everyday I'd eat there more.

[@energy247]

I can't stop crying everytime I watch this. Wow....just wow.

[@rleahbird]

wow, thanks. this was a 3-hanky performance. and so wonderful to see the incredible black, brown, tan, beige, and white crew from Berkley...

[@DAVIDDAMIENR]

I'm a VERY PROUD Berklee Alumni !!!! Stunning Video !!!!

[@hildepostler3868]

Tears streaming down my face, every time I Listen.

[@supahonky9492]

Here once again... Listening to how beautiful this is...

[@ribell48]

Great music, great crowd, good showing from the people of Boston. Remember those who can't come home. Military and Aid workers, or whatever. Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards Men.

[@lorrilizbrad]

Just more proof to me that beautiful music like this is truly a gift from God. I feel so blessed! Thanks Berklee students and Boston musicians!

[@JosiahRichards]

Brought tears to my Boy friends eyes....really!

[@gusthegrinch7390]

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I can't think of anything else until I stop crying.

[@lindagutierrez7742]

[@djbrostrom]

O holy night is my all time favorite Christmas song. This was absolutely beautiful.

[@kathywalsh8896]

One of the most beautiful renditions of my favorite Christmas carol. Stunning.

[@SuperMarbelle]

LOVE this young man's voice !!!

[@QuantaviousJones]

This is a beautiful video I watch it every December. This young man did an incredible performance 😢😢😢😢

[@xtigerlilydreamsx]

my gosh, I can't imagine how nervous the soloist must have felt before he got up to sing. He sounds like an angel. Just exquisite.

[@magcorsaro353]

Warm rushes through my body as tears come down my cheeks. My favorite Christmas song done so unbelievably fine and full of spirit.

[@jasonjohnson9295]

Mark you nailed this song , I listen to it every morning !

[@boston2lalaland]

Wow Thank you to all who performed Wow What beauty!

[@RobertJBF]

Un énorme BRAVO à tous les musiciens et chanteurs. Cette interprétations est remplie de sentiments tellement beaux et c'est une des meilleures, peut-être la meilleure que j'ai eu l'occasion d'entendre. Merci pour ces doux moments d'émotions.

[@carolynghavam6079]

Soloist, you're old enough now to be a Just 1's . Receive the three gifts, spiritual, divine and cosmic. Bless your sincere heart. Love for ever. Z🦋🦅👑😘

[@Rachet88]

[@nab004]

[@TechSalesGuy]

WOW!!! Just proves that JESUS is the reason for the season!

[@lisas5935]

I've loved this since the first time I viewed it and here it is July 4th and I'm still revisiting this video. It is so beautiful and always brings me such joy! Thank you...again.

[@YourWife2008]

Perfection from start to finish. I heard an angel sing. Thank you!

[@michaeldemellia6951]

Let's call it a surprise performance. Same effect though as a flash mob. To be presented with something so beautiful, so unexpectedly. I hope the spectators were as moved as I was. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@TheIrenepiekarski]

The Chihuly sculpture makes a great Christmas tree in the background.

[@seanconroy3567]

My new favorite version of this song!!

[@tcabo1]

This was wonderful. I love flash mobs. We need to keep the arts, especially music alive in schools and everywhere.

[@dianebailey4741]

Truly inspirational.....Thank you to each and every one who participated. They brought tears to my eyes.

[@biancageisler6097]

wundervolle Stimme und super gemacht, einfach zum Dahinschmelzen
