Yo - Yo Ma - the best cellist About Yo-Yo Ma What is a cello? Yo-Yo Ma’s music Yo-Yo Ma’s life and Family 一義25游筱玄Joyce

About Yo-Yo Ma Ma was born in Paris, France on October 7, 1955. Ma’s father started teaching him to play the cello when he was four. At age five, Ma gave his first cello recital. When he was nine, he moved with his parents to New York City, where he studied at the Juilliard School in the Pre-College division. Lots of people first noticed Ma in 1970, when Leonard Bernstein featured him in a fund-raising event for the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Yo-Yo Ma studied humanities at Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts. In the summers he performed at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont. After he graduated, he became a full-time cellist. In 1978, he won the Avery Fisher Prize, a very special $50,000 prize given to only a few of the world’s best musicians. Even though Ma didn’t study music at Harvard, in 1991 the school gave him an honorary Doctorate of Music, their highest degree. Today Ma tours all over the world playing solo recitals, chamber music with a few other players, and concertos (a type of solo) with orchestras. He also makes recordings of both classical and non-classical music. Ma has made two country-style albums, one called Appalachia Waltz and the other called Appalachian Journey, with fiddle player Mark O’Connor and bassist Edgar Meyer. He is also featured on a children’s album, Lulie the Iceberg, which is a musical tale about the environment.
