This is a common phrase heard throughout Israel to "explain the unexplained or absurd."
I was throwing my hands up in the air, shouting "It's Israel!" during a recent performance I had with the Herzliya Chamber Orchestra. They called me to sub in on a performance they were having last week. I said, "Sure." How little I knew.
During the final piece, Handel's Royal FIREWORKS (emphasis on FIREWORKS), the conductor/music director thought it fitting to have a full fireworks display on stage...INDOORS. Needless to say, the video you are about to see was filmed by fellow horn player and video-editor extraordinaire Kyle Hoyt. Enjoy, y'all.
***UPDATE!***
Here's the original version of the aforementioned gig. It's just as good.

Ok. THAT is hilarious.
Nice.
I'm assuming that Kyle added the dog, fire alarm, and helicopter sound effects, right?
I laughed until I cried. Both were good, but I think I like the one with the dog barking and the helicopters best. I assume no one got hurt? Did anyone in the audience run out?
No one was hurt during this performance. Thank "his name".
Richard says: Too bad the fireworks didn't set the violas on fire!
Jill says: And the award for "best classical performance while not catching on fire" goes to....
Did the firemen really come?
Yes. Firemen came.
