LAREDO, Texas — It was Bach on the border Saturday afternoon.
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma brought his Bach Project to the cities of Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, according to National Public Radio. The musician played Johann Sebastian Bach's "Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello" in a park next to the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge during Saturday's performance, The Hill reported.
"As you all know, as you did and do and will do, in culture, we build bridges, not walls," Ma told the audience. “I've lived my life at the borders. Between cultures. Between disciplines. Between musics. Between generations."
