Yo-Yo Ma at past YMCG
Due to the recent sporadic distribution of the new crown epidemic in many parts of the country, the organizers of the Music Week will adopt the preparation idea of dynamic management and adjust the implementation plan at any time under the premise of ensuring compliance with epidemic prevention and control regulations and protective measures. Yo-Yo Ma was unable to attend the Guangdong International Youth Music Week this year, but in an open letter to the week, he shared his thoughts and feelings: "In the past few months, I have been thinking about these music events that have taken place in Guangdong in the past five years, and the thinking that runs through it: how does content, communication and acceptance interact in music performances? How does the voice of the individual build a collective experience? How can experimentation, improvisation, and musical collaboration help us understand the role of musicians in society? How can we harness creativity to navigate change and forge new journeys? ”
Yo-Yo Ma
Yo-Yo Ma's "improvisation" and "musical collaboration" have been composed of the study and performance of musical improvisation, chamber music and orchestral music in the past few years. At the 2022 Guangdong International Youth Music Week, some chamber music and orchestra activities will be resumed.
Yo-Yo Ma believes that "music and culture help us to envision and create a better future".
