The master class will consist of performances by Fredonia students, including a group performance by the cello students, a solo perfomance, and a chamber music ensemble. Yo-Yo Ma will provide comment and illustration, focusing on refining the details of the performances as well as sharing his techniques for making profound artistic connection with an audience.

Yo-Yo Ma has been a cultural beacon for decades. Young and old flock to his sold-out concerts, coming away moved, thrilled, and inspired. This unparalleled artist has performed at the Oscars, the Grammys, the Olympics, and before a live audience of over a million at the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Ma has released 75 records, holds Grammy Awards, honorary degrees and other awards, serves on President Obama's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, and has won the National Medal of the Arts and the World Economic Forum's Crystal Award. He was appointed Culture Connect Ambassador by the Department of State in 2002.

This event is partially sponsored by the Williams Visiting Scholar/Artist program.

Program subject to change.
