  3. Biography (傳記) Yo-Yo Ma was born in 1955 to Chinese parents living in Paris. He began to study the cello with his father at age 4 and soon came with his family to New York, where he spent most of his formative(塑造的) years. Later, his principal teacher was Leonard Rose at the Juilliard School. He sought(尋求) out a traditional liberal arts education to expand upon his conservatory(音樂學校) training, graduating from Harvard University in 1976. Mr. Ma and his wife have two children. He plays two instruments, a 1733 Montagnana cello from Venice and the 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius.

  4. About his music YO-YO MA Cellist The many-faceted career of cellist Yo-Yo Ma is testament(信條) to his continual search for new ways to communicate with audiences, and to his personal desire for artistic growth and renewal(更新). Whether performing a new concerto(協奏曲), revisiting a familiar work from the cello repertoire(演奏曲目), coming together with colleagues(同事) for chamber music(室內樂) or exploring cultures and musical forms outside of the Western classical tradition, Mr. Ma strives(努力) to find connections that stimulate(刺激) the imagination.

  5. Yo-Yo Ma maintains(維持) a balance between his engagements(諾言) as soloist(讀奏者) with orchestras(管弦樂樂器) throughout the world and his recital(演奏會) and chamber music activities. He draws inspiration from a wide circle of collaborators(合作者), each fueled(支持) by the artists’ interactions(相互影響). One of Mr. Ma’s goals is the exploration of music as a means of communication, and as a vehicle (傳達思想感情的工具)for the migrations of ideas, across a range of cultures throughout the world.

  8. The achievement of Yo-yo Ma isn’t a coincidence.He has been practiced playing the cello since he was a child.You could see how hard he practiced by his coarse hands.Indeed,there are many things I should learn from him.The most important thing is the spirit .I should be as tough as he did,and never give up something easily.
