One of the things that most Parisians and I do not seem have in common is my love of the metro performers. I think it is really fun to watch the different musicians and dancers on the trains and in the stations. I always have to subdue my smile a bit amidst the crowds of dour faces when performers enter my subway car.
Granted, after a few weeks, I have come to upgrade my tastes a bit. I won't stop for just any keyboardist playing "My Heart will go on," nor for every saxophonist trilling away (although I have a soft spot for those who play the epic sax guy song...). Now I prefer those who really go out on a limb.
Today, at the Chatelet station in the center of Paris, I discovered what appears to be metro music central. Every corner seemed to have musicians playing truly beautiful music, from the lyre to the viola to this chamber orchestra:
Now that's what I call metro music!
