  • Yo Yo Ma, nature, culture, and history

    Loved these stories about people and places in our country I knew little about. Yo Yo Ma used his cello playing to connect to the natural world around him, the people, their painful histories and joyous celebrations. Ana is a wonderful narrator. Good for the soul!

    So so thoughtful of each place visited, the way you all entered into people’s lives and the respectful way you listened to each story and wove it into

    Yoyo’s musical pieces! Much needed now. Thank you.
