Movie:
The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble
“Strangers” is only superficially about music. It’s also about cultural identity; the meaning of home; the debt we owe our ancestors (and fellow humans); and the source of creativity.” – Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
“Lovely to watch, it’s even more beautiful to hear.” – Ken Jaworowski The NYTimes
Synopsis:
From the director of the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom and the critically acclaimed Best of Enemies, the film The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble tells the extraordinary story of the renowned international musical collective created by legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
The feature-length documentary follows this group of diverse instrumentalists, vocalists, composers, arrangers, visual artists and storytellers as they explore the power of music to preserve tradition, shape cultural evolution and inspire hope.
