Yo-Yo Ma , Itzhak Perlman , Anthony McGill & Gabriela Montero at the Obama Inauguration

A beautiful piece by John Williams, with brilliant musicians playing it. This was very moving when I watched it on TV, but I must point out that Yo-Yo Ma is just adorable while he is playing. His glances at Itzhak Perlman are so sweet. He looks genuinely happy to be there, playing for the new president. He really warms the heart. Just watch him…

I have to say that it was really wonderful to have music so celebrated in front of the nation and the entire world yesterday. Perhaps President Obama has a true appreciation for the arts? Perhaps he might even listen to Quincy Jones’ plea.
