An event like none other!!.
YoYo Ma was masterful in sharing his musicical brilliance & himself. Engaging the audience he orchestrated an evening of interpersonal warmth among strangers.
Hartford, CT@The Bushnell

Love Yo-Yo Ma, it is a gift to hear him play. Seats in the balcony though, are very uncomfortable, no leg room and I’m only 5’6”. Due to this, we had to leave early. It was very unfortunate and disappointing.
New York City, NY@Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall

About Yo-Yo Ma
Yo-Yo Ma is a world-famous Chinese-American cellist. He is considered one of the best cellists in the world and has made over 50 albums.
He was born to Chinese parents living in Paris. He began to study the cello with his father at age 4 and soon came with his family to New York, where he spent most of his formative years. Later, his principal teacher was Leonard Rose at the Juilliard School. He sought out a traditional liberal arts education to expand upon his conservatory training, graduating from Harvard University in 1976.
Yo-Yo Ma has been called "the most omnivorous of all cellists" by critics and indeed possesses a far more eclectic repertoire than typical for a classical player. He has performed and recorded Baroque pieces on period instruments, American bluegrass music, traditional Chinese melodies, the Argentinian tangos of Astor Piazzolla, Brazilian music, the soundtrack to the film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Philip Glass's minimalist score of Naqoyqatsi in addition to numerous recordings of the standard classical repertoire. His latest CD is a collaboration with other musicians for the Memoirs of a Geisha soundtrack.
Nowadays, his main performance instrument is a very fine Montagnana cello from Venice, made in 1733. He also plays regurlarly a Davidoff Stradivarius from 1712.
