Ah, Denmark – home of the Tivoli Gardens, Legoland, fabled blue cheese and some great classical music flash mobs.

You might remember the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra’s brilliant flash-mob rendition of Ravel’s Bolero in Copenhagen’s Central Station about a year ago, which can be seen below.

So, Columbus, anyone up for a classical music flash mob in our fair city?

In case you missed the orchestra’s Bolero flash mob, here’s that must-see video:
