Collaborations: Spike Jonze, Yo-Yo Ma, and Lil Buck

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.
