In my case it wasn’t about me at all, I just wanted to bring Bach among the people, that’s why I chose a train station, where people of all social background pass by, often with more time than one thinks – much better than in a subway where people are more in a rush…

I remember Joschua Bell did something similar but on a small scale – single city -near Washington DC a while back and he didn’t a specific musical program in mind. Will Bach’s music have the power to make lasting impact/impression on passer-by journey-person inside a busy train station in the US ?

Looking forward to your return next season in Brahms’ Double Concerto to open the season!:)
