After seeing a world in crisis after the coronavirus hit, Yo-Yo Ma wanted to something to help. He decided that because music has always been comforting for him, he wanted to share. This started a new project called Songs of Comfort. For this series, Yo-Yo Ma has been posting songs intended to comfort people, but it’s more than that. He’s also inviting everyone to join along. He shared in an interview, “…[Music] is something that actually looks into the inside, and that also knows no boundaries. And if we can actually express what is on our insides and show that, then this is the beginning of a deeper understanding of one another.” He invited others to share their own videos using #SongsofComfort.
