Imagine you’re taking a hike and suddenly, there’s award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma, doing a pop-up concert in the wilderness. It could happen.

Ma’s latest project, Our Common Nature, is taking him to the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Acadia National Park.  So far.

Fundamentally, Yo-Yo Ma hopes that we can enhance our own humanity by deepening our ties with the natural world…and help bring people together.
