Changing notes. Changing trains.

Jafari Sampson, 16 of the Bronx plays his violin on the express platform at 34th Street/7th Ave stop in Midtown Manhattan as a rider examines a subway map.

Mr. Sampson has been playing violin for roughly 6 years and of playing in the subway he says “It tends to get really quiet when I start to play … I think that playing classical music is better for the community as it creates a peaceful aura.”
