SUMMARY:SIMULCAST: We the People - Yo-Yo Ma plays Bach's Cello Suites
DESCRIPTION:***Registration for this event is full. Walk-ins will be admitted beginning at 8pm on a first-come\, first admitted basis\, as space allows.*** \n***Please note that this event takes place at the Newton Community Stage at the Lincoln-Eliot School\, located at 15 Walnut Park\, not at the Library building.*** \nThis November\, Yo-Yo Ma will perform Bach’s complete suites for solo cello for the first time in one evening at home\, in Boston. It’s music that he has offered to communities on all six continents\, in moments of joy and in times of tragedy. For him it exemplifies how culture helps us to seek truth\, build trust\, and act in service. \nThis is more than a concert for Yo-Yo: it is an invitation to listen to each other and the world around us\, to celebrate our community and the ways in which people all over the world—and here in Massachusetts—are bringing us together\, creating shared space for connection\, reflection\, and action\, and imagining a better future. \nLive broadcast\, one night only \nEnjoy a live simulcast of the event as it happens\, from the Newton Community Stage at the Lincoln-Eliot School\, located at 15 Walnut Park. Hear every note and get an up-close view of Yo-Yo Ma’s artistry. \nPeople across Massachusetts will come together in libraries\, theaters\, and community spaces to enjoy a powerful\, uplifting evening of music\, free of charge and for one night only. \nCelebrate the power of connection\, reflection\, and imagination: join friends and neighbors for this must-see live broadcast! \nAdmission to simulcast events is free. We encourage you to arrive early to the event\, with doors opening at 7pm. \nArrive early to enjoy a community book swap! If you would like to participate in the book swap\, we recommend arriving between 7-7:15. Bring 1-5 books (in good condition) to swap–you’ll get to take home the same number of books as you bring. \nThe space at the Newton Community Stage includes wheelchair spaces with companion seats\, chairs with folding armrests\, and assistive listening devices. To reserve one of these accommodations\, please email Lily at programs@newtonfreelibrary.net \nProgram \nJ.S. Bach | Suites 1-6 for unaccompanied cello\, BWV 1007-1012\nSuite No. 1 in G Major\, BWV 1007\nSuite No. 2 in D minor\, BWV 1008\nSuite No. 3 in C Major\, BWV 1009\nSuite No. 4 in E-flat Major\, BWV 1010\nSuite No. 5 in C minor\, BWV 1011\nSuite No. 6 in D Major\, BWV 1012 \nYo-Yo Ma \nCellist \nYo-Yo Ma’s multi-faceted career is testament to his belief in culture’s power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing new or familiar works for cello\, bringing communities together to explore culture’s role in society\, or engaging unexpected musical forms\, Yo-Yo strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity. \nMost recently\, Yo-Yo began Our Common Nature\, a cultural journey to celebrate the ways that nature can reunite us in pursuit of a shared future. Our Common Nature follows the Bach Project\, a 36-community\, six-continent tour of J. S. Bach’s cello suites paired with local cultural programming. Both endeavors reflect Yo-Yo’s lifelong commitment to stretching the boundaries of genre and tradition to understand how music helps us to imagine and build a stronger society. \nYo-Yo Ma was born in 1955 to Chinese parents living in Paris\, where he began studying the cello with his father at age four. When he was seven\, he moved with his family to New York City\, where he continued his cello studies before pursuing a liberal arts education. \nYo-Yo has recorded more than 120 albums\, is the winner of 19 Grammy Awards\, and has performed for nine American presidents\, most recently on the occasion of President Biden’s inauguration. He has received numerous awards\, including the National Medal of the Arts\, the Presidential Medal of Freedom\, and the Birgit Nilsson Prize. He has been a UN Messenger of Peace since 2006\, and was recognized as one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. \nStreamed live from Symphony Hall\, Boston \nPresented by Celebrity Series of Boston \nProduced by Celebrity Series and THE OFFICE performing arts + film in collaboration with Opus 3 Artists and Sound Postings\, the office of Yo-Yo Ma. \nWe the People is made possible by Barbara & Amos Hostetter and the Barr Foundation with additional support provided by the Richard K. Lubin Family Foundation.
