I'm a big fan of The Chorus so I decided to brave wind and rain and pestilence to see if anything would really happen.
I arrived around 2:40, got a decent enough parking spot (a sign from God?) and cruised inside. Once at the center atrium I saw that there seemed to be more than the usual number of people milling around -- and the crowd steadily grew.
At 3:02, a man with a coronet stepped up to the second floor railing and played that unmistakable fanfare. Lo and behold, hundreds of people suddenly burst into song.
It was awesome!
If you watch closely, you may catch sight of me around :49.

Another perspective on this chorus flash mob. Better audio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RB4tYbyU8k&feature=fvwrel
Hi there - I'd like to join in this year if they do this again somewhere - can you pass me the email of the organization that set this up so I can contact them and get on their "list"? Thank you!
Joel, I wish I could help, but it was word of mouth. Worse still, I hear flash mobs are banned now because too many have turned dangerous in the last year, robbing stores and terrorizing shoppers. But if you want to sing the Messiah, I believe First Church on Main St in Glastonbury is having a Messiah Sing in December. Happy Holidays!
