Yo-Yo Ma

Classic Yo-Yo Ma chronicles Ma's unique work process and legendary performances with rarely seen rehearsal and concert footage from throughout his entire career. In addition to these exquisite musical selections, the program includes newly taped interviews with Yo-Yo Ma and his friends and colleagues Daniel Barenboim, Emanuel Ax, Tan Dun and Bobby McFerrin.

Over the past sixteen years, an extraordinary group of musicians has come together to celebrate the universal power of music. Named for the ancient trade route linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, the Silk Road Ensemble, an international collective created by legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma, exemplifies music's ability to blur international boundaries, blend disparate cultures, and inspire hope for artists and audiences.
