A child prodigy, Ma started playing Bach's Cello Suites at 4. He's recorded them thrice, likening each performance to a changing river, always different but called the same.
Despite living in a world obsessed with measurement, Ma finds music and poetry as a means to touch infinity, offering a sense of wonder beyond quantification.
Ma, having played for nine US presidents and garnered numerous awards, remembers the words of Pablo Casals that highlight the importance of humanity over musicianship.
Influenced by Casals, Ma prioritizes being a human being first, a musician second, and a cellist third, embracing a philosophy that resonates with his personal values.
