A string quartet plays inside a subway station in New York City. That's awesome. But then, at the 2:07 mark in the video below, it gets awesomer. A group of ballet dancers pass by. They join in the fun, adding to the beautiful music with beautiful dancing.
Can anyone identify the music being performed? I've heard it before, but I can't find the title.

Brandenburg concerto number 3, Bach. Edited to add I didn't see Rachel's comment. Sorry!

Thank you! I suspected that it was either the third or the fifth, but I didn't hear this bit when I played recordings of them.

I was late for a lot of things when I lived in NYC for just this reason. I lost 3 hours listening to a zhonghu player that was absolutely enchanting.

Those spontaneous moments created by music or any art in public spawning other art are the best. What a cool video.

That's great! The string quartet was playing the Bach Brandenberg Concerto Number 3, last movement. Here's another group playing it with the original instrumentation (which includes a harpsichord). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLj_gMBqHX8
