Cellist Yo-Yo Ma delights CUHK students with impromptu performance and sharing session

Renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma shared his musical journey to inspire over 200 students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and amazed them with an impromptu performance on Tuesday.

In the lead-up to the concert that is part of the Chinese University of Hong Kong's 60th-anniversary celebration, Ma visited the university and discussed music and future leadership with students.

The maestro encouraged the youngsters to pursue truth, build mutual trust, and serve others.

Regarding artificial intelligence's impact on music, Ma said the technology could serve as a music generator, but lacking human senses could only hamper the meaningfulness and historical significance of music pieces.

The "CUHK 60th Anniversary: Yo-Yo Ma & HK Phil" will take place on the evening of November 8 (Wed) at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall.
