The 34th Kennedy Center Honors - Yo-Yo Ma.

What's the music at around 4:00? I hear it a lot, but I have no idea what it's called, and I love it.

Also, LOVE Colbert, he managed to do both himself genuinely appreciating the music and his character pretending to mock cellists.

@remymichelle93 it j.s. bach's cello suite no. 1 in g major. the prelude.

During the week he hit the books, during the weekend he hit the Brahms! HA!

[JRHhhify]

is there a name for the bluegrass group that was featured?

[OwlbatrossMusic]

@JRHhhify It's from a collaboration CD he did recently with Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, and Stuart Duncan called the Goat Rodeo Sessions. Great stuff!

To the people who disliked the video: Is the video too awesome?

[HathawaySoundtrack]

@SkJ2022 Certainly. But the video is not awesome: Yo-Yo Ma IS awesome. :]

Amazing tribute... but the musical tribute they did for Yo Yo is not on this clip... it was one of the best performances I've ever seen or heard... people in the audience were in tears. It is highlighted with Here Comes The Sun with James Taylor... wish this was posted.

[plewis]

@artmeakin if you find it let me know

thanks!

[LisaLoops]

Oh Stephen, I adore you! :-)

[SighsNorth]

Thanks for uploading! Wonderful. Do you have the performances honoring Yo-Yo as well? I hope!

[vigwig]

"Distinguished honorees, unregistered lobbyists" LOL

[puppyfaces]

[cazia9]

I adore how you can see Yo-Yo Ma say 'oh wow! I love him!' as Stephan Colbert comes on stage
