About this concert
In June 2023, Yo-Yo Ma played the final notes of Bach’s Cello Suites in Nairobi. They marked the end of a five-year, six-continent journey, a search for answers to the questions that have in many ways defined his career: What is culture’s role in society? How can culture help us imagine and build a better future?
Now, in a special program combining music and conversation, Yo-Yo will be joined by two friends he met along the way, Angélique Kidjo and Jeremy Dutcher, visionary artists whose generosity and perspective have guided him toward hope. Performing together for the first time, Ma, Kidjo, and Dutcher call on us to contemplate the great questions of life and art: What has brought us here? And where will we choose to go next?
Accompanying them are Christian Sands - keyboard and Magatte Sow - Percussion

Christian Sands Biography
The bungling, pianistic technique alone, which is captured in tremendous pressure, throws you back into your chair. Christian Sands, one of the young luminaries of contemporary jazz history, is peculiar and proclaims an almost singular high standard. Where does Sands hang out? In the former, equally uncharted territories of jazz development, which decidedly listens to the traditional theory of harmony as the foundation. But Sands doesn't make it easy for himself or even sit in nests he's made. With determination and with a highly developed individuality, he sets up his own creative space, where he relocates enlightened jazz classicism with fresh ambition and thirst for action. Sand's musical-cultural stance is deeply rooted in African-American jazz heritage.
