Well known as a once-in-a-generation cellist, Ma\u2019s work outside the concert hall is driven by his enduring belief in the power of music and culture to generate the trust and empathy required to connect people to one another, to their local communities, and to the world as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnegiefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3.-Yo-Yo-Ma-by-Jason-Bell-450x600-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnegiefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3.-Yo-Yo-Ma-by-Jason-Bell-450x600-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.carnegiefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3.-Yo-Yo-Ma-by-Jason-Bell-450x600-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Jason Bell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is a joy to announce that Yo-Yo will join the Carnegie board,\u201d says Carnegie President Timothy Knowles. \u201cHis wisdom, generous spirit, and unparalleled ability to convene people across boundaries will be invaluable to the Foundation\u2019s future. His commitment to young people across the globe and to the power of passion-driven learning will be instrumental to our pursuit of educational equity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am honored that Tim and the board have invited me to join them on this adventure \u201d says Ma. \u201cAnd I\u2019m excited to build on Carnegie\u2019s legacy as we work towards educational equity for all\u2014a goal at the heart of creating a more collaborative, just, and sustainable world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a musician, educator, and innovator, Ma strives to foster the connections that can dissolve borders, stimulate the imagination, and spark collaboration. In 1998, he founded the nonprofit organization Silkroad\u2014a collective of artists from around the world who create music that engages their many traditions\u2014as a catalyst for promoting learning through the arts and fostering multicultural artistic exchange. In the years since, Silkroad has led to an increased engagement with public education, including through classroom curriculum and educator professional development programs designed to spur interest in the arts and foster interdisciplinary connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Ma, music provides a tool for public service. Public events and creative experiences inspire new relationships, engender empathy, and connect people who otherwise might be riven. To that end, in August 2018, Ma undertook a two-year journey around the world to perform Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s six suites for solo cello with local artists in 36 locations. He also has recently begun a project that brings people together in national parks around science, nature, and the arts to engage in important civic conversations\u2014the idea being that national lands are sacred secular spaces that connect people across their divisions. In both of these endeavors, Ma demonstrates how culture can help to build a stronger society and a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the best things about having Yo-Yo join the Board is that it is impossible to imagine what insights we will gain,\u201d says Knowles. \u201cTo a person, the Carnegie Trustees are catalyzers, big thinkers, and extraordinary practitioners. Yo-Yo will bring still more power and passion to the collective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Carnegie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is committed to solving long-standing inequities in educational outcomes.
