The occasion: A benefit for the arts in public schools.
The musician: Cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
The dancer: LA/Memphis street dancer Lil Buck.
The camera: Director Spike Jonze.
The result: A performance that is also the best possible argument for the cause it supports. We could say more, but again, the video speaks for itself.

So this is pretty much the coolest thing I’ve seen today, even more so because I love how they took two things that don’t seem like they go together and made them work beautifully.
Imagine seeing something like this in a cultural assembly in high school? Awesome!
