I have to agree with skysidhe - people using the Metro are in a hurry. I love classical music, and would probably have paused a few minutes to listen, but I'd be worried about being late to work or where ever I was going.

I think, too, people have just become jaded. They can hear great music all the time on their ipods or stereos , etc.

Finally, people just don't want to get involved. They probably thought the violinist was homeless, and they just threw him some change and kept moving.

One simply doesn't expect to hear or see beauty on the Metro, so people were victims of their own expectations.
