Yo Yo Ma Plays Exclusively For An Audience Of One:- You!

You can now enjoy some classical music played none other by one of the best musicians in the world: Yo Yo Ma.

Renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma has been running a series of mini concerts almost every day during lockdown that he’s termed #songsofcomfort on Facebook and Youtube and Facebook . Yo Yo Ma’s mission is simple: “In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort.”

Hook your phone up to your hifi and enjoy an eclectic selection that puts together Saint-Saëns and even children’s television presenter, Mr. Rogers.

In one post, Yo Yo Ma dedicates Ennio Morricone’s Legend of 1900 to Italy. In another, Bach’s Cello Suite No.3 pays tribute to the healthcare workers on the frontlines with the message: Your ability to balance human connection and scientific truth in service of us all gives me hope.

Listen to his first post featuring Dvorák:

Or this one with featuring a work by one of  Turkey’s first composers, Ahmed Adnan Saygun :
