I kept being upset when the camera panned away from dodie because I just wanted to watch her watch Jacob! I've seen performers like that before, where even when they're not actively playing/singing they really elevate the experience by being visibly happy/moved. One violinist in particular (Gil Shaham) just GRINS ear-to-ear when he's not playing and the energy is really infectious, and I felt similarly watching dodie.

Jacob has also figured out how to get people to sing notes outside of the key (without telling them to), but it takes some clever chord movement and a slightly modified hand direction.

The way Jacob controlled the audience like a piano was breath taking. To keep track of what each section was singing and give clear enough directions that they could all follow it was ridiculous, and then for the orchestra to come back in and everything was still on pitch. But I suppose he knew that would have made microtonal adjustments to the audience if necessary or a big choir is a self regulating pitch instrument.

theres no way i wouldnt have burst into tears at this performance in person

Oh, the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will you go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go, lassie, go? I will build my love a bower By yon clear and crystal fountain And on it, I will pile All the flowers of the mountain Will you go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go, lassie, go? I will range through the wilds And the deep glen sae dreamy And return wi' their spoils Tae the bower o' my dearie Will you go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will you go, lassie, go?

I got a bit teary when they came in together

This caused a feeling in me that I could not control. An overwhelming feeling of… togetherness

One day I must be present at a concert with the audience as a choir because if it's so powerful through video, I can only imagine how moving it is in actuality

I was so close to tears watching that. I've loved Dodie's work for a long time, only fairly recently found Laufey (via a Tiny Desk concert) and Jacob (similar means of discovery). Jacob Collier is a gift to us all. Wow! Mesmerising!

There is some thing about singing together that is a real sweet spot for humanity. Instant connection and joy. I wonder if it's not really so much about how the audience choir sounds, but how it feels to them😊

Caught this show on PBS last night. Absolutely astounding!! I have Ben Folds music in my library, but I had no idea he was so into symphony music and also encouraging the younger generation of musicians. These 3 performers were amazing, of course, and watching the NSO perform was so enlightening. But the topper was Jacob's idea of directing the audience to sing. I've never seen such a thing and it's hard to believe, really, that this random audience could perform like they did at his direction. I'm so glad I recorded the TV show and have not deleted it yet. I gotta watch it again!

Jacob does this at all his concerts.

Yeah, Jacob is like a musician’s musician. Except for collaborations, he generally plays every single instrument on his albums. His career began with those fantastic choral arrangements of Stevie Wonder and the Flintstone covers that got him discovered by Quincy Jones. So, I’m guessing he attracts a lot of musicians to his concerts (me being one of them I used to sing in a classical choir).

Check out the Ben Folds Five album "The unauthorized biography of Reinhold Messner", specifically the song "Magic". He also has an album with yMusic, a sextet, and there's a great recorded concert of Ben Folds with the WASO orchestra live in perth. A lot of his later Ben Folds Five and some of his solo work has been a lot more compositional.
