music/culture { a little music on the way to work

A fascinating piece in the WaPo.

One of the finest classical musicians of his age dons street clothes and plays some of the most beautiful music ever written on a multimillion dollar Stradivarius violin in the Metro station in Washington during the morning commute.

An interesting experiment in human nature with an outcome you might not expect.

This one is worth a read.

I found that article fascinating.

I think Bell should be commended for taking a risk and playing to the street. How many virtuosos in the world would do that?
