Yo-Yo Ma (© Sony Music Entertainment)Common Threads
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma has explored Argentine tangos and Appalachian folk tunes, Mozart and Bach. On his newest album Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon, he collaborates with musicians from Iran, Armenia, China and India. The disc is part of his ongoing Silk Road Project, a series of concerts and recordings meant to revive the kind of cultural interchange that occurred on the ancient trade route that connected Asia with Europe. He joins us to bring us up to speed on the project and share some of his latest pieces. And Samir Chatterjee, music educator, tabla player and founder of the all-night Indian concert, will be by to talk about the powerful affects of an all-night experience of classical music from Hindustan.
