Britain's Got Talent 2016 S10E01 Nicholas Bryant and His Surprise Collaborative Orchestra Full

Wow.....amazing performance!!

Pianist Nicholas Bryant is, at first, shy and unassuming in the video below. By day, he works for an investment relations consulting company, but what he really wants to do is pursue his music.

Nicholas had never really gotten to play piano in public, so he took the stage on Britain’s Got Talent in 2016 to perform in front of strangers for one of the very first times.

“The stage is yours,” Simon says in the video. “Grab it.” And boy, does he. He even has a surprise up his sleeve!

Nicholas begins playing a gorgeous rendition of “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen. Within seconds, a violinist joins him onstage out of nowhere. And then, out from the seats and among the general audience pops a brass section. Then even more instruments join in! It’s a flash mob, and the judges never saw it coming!

The entire performance is out of this world, but my favorite part comes at the 2:37 mark when a massive choir stands up in the balcony and belts out the lyrics. Simon and the rest of the judges have no choice but to turn in their chairs, listening and watching in awe of the performance unfolding and growing larger and louder.
