A peculiar experiment took place here in the station on Friday, January 12, 2007. The famous Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell was playing here a few master pieces of Bach. The experiment was set up to check if we would notice "beauty" and "talent" when we hear or see it. Most of the young kids stopped to listen, but were dragged by their parents to move on. 27 adults stopped and gave Joshua a few dollars. He used a $3 million fiddle. In a banal setting at an inconvenient time, would beauty transcend? The answer: 1,070 people passed Bell without paying him any attention.
