Summary
In 2018, Yo-Yo Ma began a two-year journey, setting out to perform Johann Sebastian Bach's six suites for solo cello in one sitting, across 36 locations on 6 continents. For Yo-Yo, Bach's music is one extraordinary example of how culture connects us and can help us to imagine a better future. In an unforgettable experience the 19 times Grammy Award winner and internationally acclaimed cellist performed the Cello Suites at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens. Yo-Yo Ma says: "These suites are so meaningful. They're not only companions and friends, but they've also been reference points in my life"
