How do you get to Carnegie Hall? The Times Square Shuttle, apparently.

 

The best sounding buskers in the city stunned straphangers on the (S) line when five members of Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra put on an impromptu performance to their Carnegie performance.

 

"I've played on a flatbed truck before, but never in a subway". said horn player Jaap van der Vliet.

 

The subway's first lurch briefly startled the muscians, but they smoothly resumed Composer Samuel Scheidt's "Three Canzonas".

 

The orchestra - which has 120 muscians at full strength - was recognized as the world's best in 2008.
