Who is Yo-Yo Ma?
Yo-Yo Ma is arguably one of the most gifted and certainly one of the most eclectic cellists in the world today. He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs with great aplomb but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically. Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75 albums, many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement, while others diverge significantly from classical music. He’s worked with musicians like Bobby McFerrin, Sting, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music and bluegrass to the music of the Kalahari Bush. His musical explorations, including the scoring or performance in numerous films, have garnered Ma many awards and honors.
