Good Deeds Day At Jerusalem Hospital (video)

Here's something uplifting to start the week (though it acually took place earlier this month on international Good Deeds Day, an initiative that originated in Israel).

To quote the YouTube uploader:
'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.'

    You might like to add this video to your blog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBaHPND2QJg

    It's also a "classical music flash mob", but look at the kids dancing.
    How long did it take you identify the music they're playing?

    I play this every few weeks: it brings a huge smile to my face, as does the one you posted.

      Thanks, Brian. I've just played that video - it's a delight, but I try to keep this blog Israel-oriented.
