Bieber’s ‘Beauty and a Beat’ gets a classical makeover

Last week the University of York released a video of an orchestra and choir covering Justin Bieber’s top-charting single A Beauty and a Beat. The video was made to support Red Nose Day–a 25-year-old U.K. charity that raises funds to transform lives at home and in Africa through comic relief.
