I hate flash mobs. They're cringe-worthy! But I like this, whatever it may officially be categorised as. Handel's Messiah is a beautiful, uplifting piece of music and is regularly performed in Dublin to mark the anniversary of its first ever performance here in the 1700s.
a large group of people mobilized by social media to meet in a public place for the purpose of doing an unusual or entertaining activity of short duration
According to Wikipedia a flash mob is "a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place to perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, artistic expression".
Cynics, why not just enjoy it! I loved it, nice work RTE :)
I remember what a thrill it was listening to this on RTE radio whil driving through the Irish countryside in Co. Clare. Lovely!

Ah yeah, RTE gives free advertising to Dundrum Shopping Centre. Don't they have a fabulous marketing department there in Dundrum eh? How biased.

Along way to go to get 35 million hits such as the same piece of music got when done in Canada last year check it out It is amazingly done
maybe the title should be changed to live concert piece rather than Flash Mob
