Whether performing new or familiar works for cello\, bringing communities together to explore culture’s role in society\, or engaging unexpected musical forms\, Yo-Yo strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity. \nMost recently\, Yo-Yo began Our Common Nature\, a cultural journey to celebrate the ways that nature can reunite us in pursuit of a shared future. Our Common Nature follows the Bach Project\, a 36-community\, six-continent tour of J. S. Bach’s cello suites paired with local cultural programming. Both endeavors reflect Yo-Yo’s lifelong commitment to stretching the boundaries of genre and tradition to understand how music helps us to imagine and build a stronger society. \nYo-Yo Ma was born in 1955 to Chinese parents living in Paris\, where he began studying the cello with his father at age four. When he was seven\, he moved with his family to New York City\, where he continued his cello studies before pursuing a liberal arts education. \nYo-Yo has recorded more than 120 albums\, is the winner of 19 Grammy Awards\, and has performed for nine American presidents\, most recently on the occasion of President Biden’s inauguration. He has received numerous awards\, including the National Medal of the Arts\, the Presidential Medal of Freedom\, and the Birgit Nilsson Prize.
