Random Act of Culture

On Saturday, October 30, 2010, the Opera Company of Philadelphia brought together over 650 choristers from 28 participating organisations to perform one of the Knight Foundation’s “Random Acts of Culture” at Macy’s in Philadelphia. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ – the world’s largest pipe organ – the OCP Chorus and throngs of singers from the community infiltrated the store as shoppers, and burst into an apparently spontaneous rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus noon, to the delight of surprised shoppers.
