Maestro Moses Josiah plays the musical saw in the New York City subway. He used to perform in well-known shows and many people came to see him play this unusual music. Today his audience is made up of commuters rushing through the New York City subway. But even in a hurry, some of them slow down when they hear the sound of his unusual instrument. The maestro plays works by various composers from John Lennon and George Gershwin to Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
The donation plate that Josiah customarily puts in front of him is always full, but he claims that he doesn’t play for the money.
Thousands of people hear the maestro’s music but it is dedicated to a single person – his beloved wife, who is currently in hospital. Moses Josiah usually participates in the annual international musical saw festival in New York. He hopes that he will stage a show of his own in the future.
