Joanna Ho’s lyrical writing and Teresa Martinez’s vibrant art
weave together to tell an inspiring story about Yo-Yo Ma, a
cellist who
challenges conventions, expectations, and beliefs about
classical music in order to
build bridges that unite communities, people, and cultures.
Before Yo-Yo Ma became one of the world's most renowned and
celebrated
cellists, he wanted to play the double bass. But it was too big
for his four-year-old hands. Over time, Ma honed his amazing
talent, and his music became a reflection of his own life
between borders, cultures, disciplines, and generations.
Since then, he has recorded over a hundred albums, won nineteen
Grammy Awards, performed for eight American presidents, and
received the National Medal of the Arts and the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.
Yo-Yo Ma performed at the US-Mexico
border at the Rio Grande on April 13, 2019, as part of his
multi-continent “Bach Project” tour to prove a point—through
music, we can build bridges rather than walls between different
cultures.Book, 40 pages.
