I guess she was surprised that two 20-30 something Caucasian guys wearing t-shirts and jeans knew who she was. She happened to be in town to receive an honorary degree from Berklee College of Music.

My wife (then GF) and I saw her at Symphony Hall in Boston in a solo concert in 1982 or so. Technically she may have been past her prime at that point, but she was still ethereal
By the way, she is now 97.
