Dale Henderson gives cello concerts in New York subway stations . `` Bach in the Subways is providing something meaningful '' to people who hear it , he says . He does n't ask for donations , gives out postcards about music . I ca n't believe that 's true . The idea of a free concert on public transit has been around since at least the early 1900s when composers like Richard Strauss and Franz Schubert were giving them away as gifts.
