Yo-Yo Ma decided to do what he does best to celebrate COVID immunity … he played his cello for those right behind him.
The famed musician received his second dose at Berkshire Community College in Massachusetts Saturday and you could call this bookends.
Exactly a year ago Yo-Yo Ma posted a recording of himself playing music with the hashtag, @Songs Of Comfort. This was posted at a time of fear, and now there are signs of hope.
It’s interesting … there are other clinics administering the vaccine where music is everywhere. Doctors say it’s calming for people who are anxious about getting the vaccine. Some clinics actually encourage dancing … making the atmosphere friendly and celebratory rather than scary.
As for Yo-Yo Ma’s latest performance … as one State Representative said, it brought “hope and optimism through his beautiful music.”
