Famed violinist to play again at subway

Joshua Bell wants a do-over in Washington.

The Grammy-winning violinist played for spare change in a subway station during a 2007 experiment with The Washington Post, and almost no one paid attention.

It made for a good magazine story that won the Pulitzer Prize. But Bell hasn't been able to live it down after seven years.

Now, Bell tells the Post (http://wapo.st/ZGRQRm ) he is planning another public performance in the main hall at Washington's Union Station. And he hopes to have an audience this time. The performance is set for September 30 at 12.30pm.

Bell says the goal is to promote music education. He will be accompanied by nine students he mentored. He also has a new album debuting the same day and an upcoming television special.
