    Man, Yo-yo Ma is 100% one of my favorite musicians since I was a kid. He seems kind and empathetic, and that's delightful to know as an adult (sometimes the people you look up to don't turn out to be that great). He definitely influenced my choice to learn the violin and be in orchestra in general. It's great to see these impromptu moments from such a famous musician.

      I met him when I was maybe 8 or 9, he signed my Suzuki cello book and was excited and encouraging. Incredibly warm and friendly guy from what I remember.
