Flash Mob at Aroma's in Hastings Street, Noosa Heads - March 2016
Easter holiday crowds in Noosa's cafe precinct came to a standstill when waiters and customers at Aroma's suddenly burst into song. Soprano Fran Wilson, disguised as a waitress, burst into the first few bars of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah, to the accompaniment of pianist Janet Brewer who, until then, had been charming the coffee crowd with her jazz and boogie-woogie selections. Adrian King, Music Director of the Chorale, joined in with the tenor line, quickly followed by more singers who stood up from their tables or streamed in from Hastings Street, until eventually 40 voices in 4-part harmony brought the Hallelujah to its powerful conclusion.
The event was organised to promote the July Noosa Long Weekend Festival, 2016 being its 15th year since inception.
