Whatever else you are doing this week, please get yourself to a screening of “The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble.” It offers a gorgeous, layered rebuttal to the dominant narrative of xenophobia, discord and violence. If you need to be reminded why art matters, this is the movie for you. Trailer here.
