Random Acts of Culture™ - San Jose, California from JD Andrews on Vimeo.

Knight Foundation is celebrating its 1,000+ Random Acts of Culture™ with four big, blow-out performances in San Jose, Detroit, Miami and Philadelphia. The fun kicked off Sunday, Aug 5 with a 250-person surprise performance at the Target Pops Summer Festival at San Jose State University. There were French horns, there was Wagner and there were Viking-horned roller skaters – enjoy the video above.
