A bonus program in the Guilford College Bryan Series of lectures, Monday October 26 saw a concert performance and discussion session with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Third row seats in the orchestra pit. VIP, baby! It was intriguing and engaging. He discussed various levels and pockets of development in his life. I was mesmerized.No embedding onto websites, so you have to go to YouTube for a brief discussion clip here. His main focus on performance was the Bach Cello Suite. He talked about it being the first cello piece he learned. He broke it down for us all. Pattern recognition is the foundation of most of life. Listen to the patterns. Listen to the repeating theme. Beautiful.
