To me, Yo-Yo Ma speaks about music in the same way Steve Irwin spoke about animals and Mr. Rogers talked about... everything. He’s a treasure
-
Yo-Yo Ma is like an optimistic grandpa everyone have to have. He really is adorable
-
How can you be the best at playing something and still not have a SINGLE tone of brag in your voice? He's so charming.
-
When Yo-Yo Ma won the Birgit Nilsson Prize earlier in 2022, he requested a meetup with ten young promising cello players in Sweden (that’s where the prize was given out) and I was one of them. I got to travel south to Stockholm and talk with Yo-Yo Ma as well as listen to him rehearsing with the Royal Philharmonic orchestra. It was a wonderful experience and he was extremely nice to us and seemed genuinely interested in us as people. I will never forget how amazing he was.
-
Was genuinely nice to hear him give a positive response to the Suite No. 1 question when so many musicians have disdain for "overexposed" music.
-
Never heard him speak in 20 years of hearing his name. Dude is pretty cool
-
you can tell he's a genuine master of his art because he's not afraid of talking about his imperfections. He revels in them. It's brilliant
-
Yo yo ma was used in one of my fourth grade standardised tests as an English comprehension exercise and I don’t know why but it has always stuck with me and I loved this vid :)
-
“I play out of tune anyways” says one of the best cello players alive
-
“I play out of tune anyway”😂😂😂
-
This man is a national treasure. One of my favorite humans on the planet.
-
I never was interested in the cello or Mr. Ma but I gave this ten seconds and now I love him. He is so very delightful, passionate, engaging, and grounded. I had never heard a musician say that playing is about expressing emotion through music or that it is normal to seek those states of mind and emotion through music. Yo-yo Ma is a treasure.
-
Do y’all realize that we are watching a literal living legend sit down and speak with us as if we’re old friends? That is so incredible. What a time to be alive.
-
"Why do they always play suite no. 1 in every movie?" Most musicians: "I know right. That piece is so overplayed, there are many other pieces that are better and more impressive" Yo-Yo Ma: "Because that piece is amazing"
-
I'm blown away to see one of my heroes being so accessible and warm and friendly. Who noticed the fragments of Elgar's Cello Concerto he used for demonstrating? His performance of Elgar's Cello Concerto is one of my all-time favourite performances. Thrilling video! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

This artist is a treasure and represents all that is transcendent of the human species. I just learned so much about the cello taught and related by a gentleman in touch with the flow of life and music. Thank you Yo-Yo.
-
Yo can I hire Yo-Yo Ma as a therapist, this man's words hit different.
-
I love how Yo-Yo Ma just takes a cello with him everywhere. I've never seen him do an interview without a cello. His instrument really is part of him.
-
I love how such a talented cellist is still trying to get it right. I think that’s why I love playing music so much. always reaching for new perfection
-
I don't know why I always had this impression that Yo-Yo Ma was a super unapproachable, stern-faced, serious musician who only appeared on stage to communicate with us virtuosically through music and then vanish into the mist, but man... He is so cool!!!! What an awesome human, and a legendary musician!
