    Pearls Before Breakfast - washingtonpost.com

    As an experiment, The Washington Post asked Joshua Bell to pull out his Stradivarius violin and play, unannounced, at the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station one morning. On January 12, for 43 minutes, that's just what he did. 1,097 people walked by him. How did they react, and how much money did he collect in the end? Click through to find out--really interesting article!

    Quoted: Joshua Bell is one of the world's greatest violinists. His instrument of choice is a multimillion-dollar Stradivarius. If he played it for spare change, incognito, outside a bustling Metro stop in Washington, would anyone notice?

    Tuning the Air

    Amazonians--for those of you who remember Bosco, this is a guitar ensemble that he's a part of and they're starting up their new season of performances. I've never been but it sounds really interesting and worth a visit at least once.

    Quoted: Tuning the Air is a unique performance project of the Seattle Guitar Circle. Rather than touring in pursuit of an audience, the Seattle Guitar Circle is bringing the concept of the location based performance team to Seattle. 2005 was our first year of Tuning the Air and the response was very enthusiastic. Our 2006 season begins on Monday, March 6 and we expect the word about what we’re doing to spread quickly.

    Our weekly performances of an ever-changing presentation revolve around a 10-member guitar ensemble and can include dance, voice and the occasional special guest.
