Absolutely beautiful!! The best of the best!
Berkeley, CA@Zellerbach Auditorium

December 8th 2022
Yo Yo Ma is beyond great.
The Outdoor night concert without an orchestra was spectacular.
Bach's music that Yo Yo Ma selected was both theoretically and sensually beautiful.
His superb, yet highly advanced and natural technique kept the audience captivated throughout the two-hour performance.
We got the lawn seat ticket this time and feel very fortunate for the experience.
It was an unforgettable and wonderful night. I hope he will come back soon.
Thank you very much!!

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.
