WAIT - There's more > PBS Songs of Comfort interview.
Mar 18, 2020 · Yo-Yo Ma, one of the world’s most renowned and beloved musicians, is trying to provide comfort in this time of crisis. Ma has been posting videos of himself performing short pieces and encouraging other musicians -- of all levels -- around the world to join him in offering “Songs of Comfort.” Ma joins Jeffrey Brown to discuss the project and play Dvorak.

Just wonderful, @rosemarya!
Thank you, @rosemarya I just finally had time to listen to this. Beautiful. I watched the PBS video too, what a beautiful person he is. That led me to looking him up. The Wikipedia article about him is fascinating.
I didn't know he lives right in Cambridge and apparently performs at Tanglewood in Lenox MA which is in the western part of the state. Tanglewood is a beautiful outdoor venue, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I haven't been there in years, it's about three hours from us, but if I could go when he is there that would be a great incentive.
For anyone not too distant or who might be in the area in the summer, if you love musicTanglewood is definitely worth a trip.
