This November, Yo-Yo Ma will perform Bach’s complete suites for solo cello for the first time in one evening at home in Boston. It’s music that he has offered to communities on all six continents, in moments of joy and in times of tragedy. For him, it exemplifies how culture helps us to seek truth, build trust, and act in service.

This is more than a concert for Yo-Yo: it is an invitation to listen to each other and the world around us, to celebrate our community and the ways in which people all over the world—and here in Massachusetts—are bringing us together, creating shared space for connection, reflection, and action, and imagining a better future.
