THEY SPOKE WITHOUT WORDS



. . . a composition called Air and Simple Gifts arranged by John Williams and performed by Itzhak Perlman (violin), Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Gabriela Montero (piano), and Anthony McGill (clarinet) on January 20, 2009 at the 2009 inauguration of United States' President Barack Obama.

    Yes, I hunted for that video too. A truly beautiful moment, and definitely one of the highlights of the ceremony.

    Merci. A delicious moment. Yo-Yo Ma looked SO delighted.

    (Can you imagine playing an instrument in that bitter cold, though?)
