About
An evening of conversation, music and images with Yo-Yo Ma and Austin Mann
LA PREMIERE
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma and photographer Austin Mann explore the role culture can play in helping us to imagine and build a stronger, more resilient society. This special collaboration continues the experiment that Yo-Yo began with the Bach Project, in which performances of Bach’s suites for solo cello on six continents were paired with “Days of Action” to ask how culture seeks truth, builds trust and encourages us all to work in service of one another. As Austin documented Yo-Yo’s journey, the two developed a friendship rooted in their shared belief that culture can connect us in our pursuit of a better future.
