Bach in the Subways
Bach in the Subways is a grass-roots movement to bring public attention to classical music, mainly through free concerts on the birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach (March 21). First performed as solo concerts on the New York City Subway in 2010 by cellist Dale Henderson, in 2015 events were performed in 129 cities in more than 39 countries.
==Origins==
Bach in the Subways was originally conceived and executed as a solo project by cellist Dale Henderson beginning in early 2010, when he began a campaign of frequent performances of the Bach ''Cello Suites'' in the New York City Subway. Instead of putting out a tip jar and asking for money from subway passengers, Henderson flipped the usual scenario upside down: he refused donations and offered listeners free souvenir postcards with an iconic image on the front, and the following message on the back:
''More people listen to classical music today than ever before. The internet provides instant access to a genre whose global popularity increases yearly. Ironically, the number of Americans who attend live classical music events continues to dwindle. Many feel this trend threatens the future survival of classical music in this country.
The Bach Solo Cello Suites are perfect ambassadors for classical music: their power and beauty unfailingly inspire great appreciation, joy and deep emotion in those who hear them. I perform the Suites in the subways of New York City to sow the seeds for future generations of classical music lovers.''
Announcing on the Bach in the Subways Facebook and Twitter pages where and when he would appear on the day of performances, Henderson’s work attracted attention from various media and musicians, notably an October 2010 video piece by CNN’s Tawanda Scott entitled “He’s playing to save the music,”〔CNN.com ("He's playing to save the music" )〕 and an endorsement on Facebook by jazz saxophonist Brandon Marsalis.〔See (Brandon Marsalis' Facebook page ).〕 Henderson continued this intensive campaign of performances, often appearing two to three times a week, throughout 2010, 2011, and the earlier months of 2012, after which he continued to give Bach in the Subways performances but scaled back somewhat in frequency.
