6.Yo-Yo Ma is one of the most gifted cellists (大提琴手) in the world today.He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically.Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75albums; many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement,while others differ greatly from classical music.He's worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting,and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass.His musical explorations,including the scoring or performance in numerous films,have won Ma many awards and honors.
Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955,Yo-Yo Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U.S.,when he was seven.One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962performance for U.S.President John F.Kennedy.Ma was certainly a genius,appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens.
Like many young extraordinary musicians,Yo-Yo Ma's educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music.Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path,Ma felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University,where he received his bachelor's degree in 1976.He wasn't always certain that he should continue to pursue his career as a cellist,and refers to hearing the work of Pablo Casals,the famous Spanish cellist,as inspiration to continue his studies and performance.
By the early 1980s,Yo-Yo Ma had become internationally known.He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children.To that end,he made appearances on Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children.
In 1998,Ma started the Silk Road Project,which promotes cooperation among artists,including musicians from around the world.His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Ma's political attitude of peace through music.In 2006,the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Ma a Peace Ambassador.
