  • In Spring 2019, as the UK prepared but didn't quite manage to leave the EU, Dash Arts pulled off a flash mob rendition of Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
    We brought together a wonderful ensemble of volunteer musicians and singers from across Europe, who were based in the UK, in the very centre of London.
    Video credits: Jadon Holbrook, Peter Lewis Beighton, Daniel Tempel, Tupac Carroll
    Conducted by Jacques Cohen
    Curated by Josephine Burton

    My hat is off to those who performed this. Very difficult to pull of even in a performance setting much less this flash mob crowd. It brought me back to the time I witnessed the BSO perform the entire Beethoven’s 9th outdoors on the commons on a beautiful summer evening. The playing was spot on and the effect was ethereal. Never to be forgotten.

    to all Knobhead, who said the melody of ode to joy are the worst, Atleast they're grateful what instrumental they are playing with, the violin and trumpet were not enough to be played because most people in the UK do not accept to playing the song of joy since they're not interested with the

    They actually had to re-record a bit of this afterward. You'll see some of the string players came out of a pub. They'd had a couple too many, and when they tried to play, they were off tempo.
    There it was, the bottom of the Ninth. The basses were loaded. The score, tied.

    Perhaps there should be a flash mob Ode to Joy every day in London until the horrid Tory government gives up, and a decent coalition takes over, and gets us back into the EU, where we belong. And Von der Leyen needs to quit the EU. Then we can all live in peace and prosperity.

And who gave you the right to decree who should be allowed that pleasure. Your bigotry encapsulates all that patriotic people of every nationality, detest and abhor. If you and like-minded people imagine that poisonous opinions such as yours will one day make Brits come crawling back to be governed by the European Polit Bureau, you have badly misread the character of the British people.
