Imagine a party, a musical party inspired by the holiday season. A party that celebrates the universal
hopes, dreams and joy animating seasonal festivals the world over - Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha,
Kwanzaa, Yule and New Year's Day. That is what brought Yo-Yo Ma together with a remarkable group
of friends - some old, some new - to create SONGS OF JOY & PEACE. It is Yo-Yo's hope that everyone who listens to this album will hear a song familiar, comfortable and beloved to them as well as discover and fall in love with music that is brand new.
