Joshua Bell in the Subway

Joshbell What happens when one of the worlds finest virtuosos dons street clothes, takes his $3.5 million Stradivarius down to the DC Metro and starts playing?

The Washington Post journalist goes REALLY deep into his thoughts on the subject, but the overall effect of the experiment he’s covering is still amazing…

I kind of feel…heartbroken.  But it was amazing to watch, definitely.

The article, with video, is here.

Great article. Healthy reminder of the things we can often miss if they're not in the context we're used to. While you'd pay hundreds to see a world renoun artist in Carnegie Hall, you'd dare not spare a dollar to hear them on the street corner. Fascinating.
