World-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma treated individuals at a clinic in Massachusetts to a concert after he got his second Covid-19 dose on March 13.
His performance – and the applause he got from his audience – was seen in videos shared by Berkshire Community College on Facebook.
His gesture went viral on Twitter after one Frankie Paris (@fparises) wrote: “Happy Saturday to everyone but especially Yo-Yo Ma who got his second dose at our local vaccine clinic today and played a concert for everyone during the 15 min waiting period.”
The cellist “wanted to give something back,” Richard Hall of the Berkshire Covid-19 Vaccine Collaborative told The Berkshire Eagle.
