10,000 people sing to Beethoven’s immortal Ode an die Freude in Japan. We are grateful to the gifted people of Sendai for this absolutely magnificent contribution. The chorus is comprised of amateurs.

Watching a group of Asian amazing artists performing with such grandeur a piece written by a European musician is what the essence of joy and peace is all about. It’s a miracle, it’s travelling through time, it’s dissolving borders and nationalities in the name of beauty. This is, truly, the ode to joy. THANK YOU, BEETHOVEN, AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE ARTISTS THAT MADE THIS PRESENTATION. THANKS TO THE PERSON THAT UPLOADED IT.
