Watch 7-year-old Yo-Yo Ma’s high-profile debut for President John F. Kennedy
The New York Times reported that on November 29, 1962, a benefit concert called “The American Pageant of the Arts” was to be held with “a cast of 100, including President and Mrs. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Leonard Bernstein (as master of ceremonies), Pablo Casals, Marian Anderson, Van Cliburn, Robert Frost, Fredric March, Benny Goodman, Bob Newhart and a 7-year-old Chinese cellist called Yo-yo Ma, who was brought to the program’s attention by Casals.”
As biographer Jim Whiting noted, “the article was noteworthy in two respects. First, it included Yo-Yo’s name in the same sentence as those of two U.S. presidents and eight world-famous performers and writers. Second, Yo-Yo had been identified in a major newspaper for the first time. It would hardly be the last. In the years since then, the New York Times alone has written about him more than 1,000 times.”

Abbey Road Studios Open Two New Studio Spaces
As visitors to Abbey Road studios will have witnessed, or if you’ve been following them online, Abbey Road has been undergoing some serious construction work over the past 18 months.
The building work marks the biggest transformation that has taken place at the studios since it first opened its doors back in 1931, and the beginning of a new era with the opening of two brand new studio spaces, The Gatehouse and The Front Room, together with a state-of-the-art Mix Stage for film post production.
The new studios are inspiring and accessible entry points, designed to make the magic of Abbey Road and its award-winning studio talent accessible to all recording artists and A&R budgets. By renovating and transforming the main townhouse front room and garage area, the new studios remain part of the fabric of Abbey Road Studios’ core facility.
Artists working in the inspirational spaces of The Gatehouse and The Front Room will have access to state-of-the-art recording technology, legacy vintage equipment and instruments used on landmark recordings as well as tapping into the studio expertise of Abbey Road’s award-winning engineers.
The new mix stage takes Abbey Road’s world-famous movie score recording facility to the next level with Dolby Atmos® Premier Studio Certification and IMAX audio compatibility. This landmark post production suite allows Abbey Road Studios to offer a service to film makers encompassing all elements of movie sound for the first time – scores, sound effects and dialogue.
Feist To Release New Album “Pleasure” On April 28
Feist will release a new album, entitled Pleasure, on April 28 via Interscope Records/ Universal Music.
Feist’s first album in six years reflects on secrets and shame, loneliness and tenderness, care and fatigue and is at its core a study on self-awareness . As the fourth full-length from the singer/songwriter born Leslie Feist, Pleasure builds off the warm naturalism of the Polaris Prize-winning Metals and emerges as her most formally defiant and expansive work so far. And while each album is a departure from the next, Pleasure finds the four-time Grammy Award nominee again showing the extraordinary depth of her artistry. Recorded over the course of three months—in Stinson Beach, Upstate New York, and Paris —Pleasure was co-produced by Feist with longtime collaborators Renaud Letang and Mocky. In addition to reaffirming Feist as a cagily inventive guitar player, the album threads her shape-shifting and often haunting vocals into sparse and raw arrangements.
In 2004 Feist made her U.S. debut with Let It Die (featuring “Mushaboom”) which won the Juno Award for Best Alternative Rock Album, and garnered major critical acclaim. Her 2007 follow-up The Reminder debuted in the Top 20 in the U.S. and was hailed by The Village Voice as a “greatbatch of simple, precisely arranged love songs — expertly produced, delectably sung.” The single “1234” boosted the album’s sales to more than a million units internationally. Also including lead single “My Moon My Man,” The Reminder won Feist the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize (making her only the second woman to ever win the award).
After a several-year hiatus — during which she co-created Look At What The Light Did Now, a documentary about the making of The Reminder and her subsequent tour — Feist returned with Metals in 2011. Metals was her highest charting album, debuting at #9 on Billboard. It was named Album of the Year by the New York Times and won the Polaris Prize and four more Juno Awards. To date, Feist’s music has sold over three million units worldwide and amassed more than 500 million streams.
