Feature: 5 of the best classical flash mobs
Well, that's exactly what happened to an unsuspecting public in Morrisons in London when Classic FM set 18 musicians, 1 conductor and 8 singers with the task of surprising, entertaining and brightening the day of the shoppers and workers alike to celebrate Classic FM's 20th Birthday.
