A Living Legend

Needing almost no introduction, multiple Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma is arguably classical music's biggest star.

The American virtuoso performs all over the world to sold-out houses and remains one of the best-selling recording artists in the classical field. His versatility, energy, and pure love of creating and performing exquisite music make him a favorite for audiences of all ages. 

Born into a musical family in Paris, France, Yo-Yo Ma began performing at the tender age of five, and appeared before two US presidents when he was just seven years old. His favorite instrument to play on is his 1712 Davidov Stradivarius, which was bequeathed to him by Jacqueline du Pre.
