Yo-Yo Ma, Boston, The 99

Studio 360

Studio 360 gets physical and Boston’s got class. A college professor transforms the way he taught physics after attending ballet class. World-class cellist Yo-Yo Ma gives Kurt a lesson in world music. The subtleties of class in South Boston surface on the silver screen, again, in Gone Baby Gone. And Muslim teenagers turn into superheroes in the new comic book The 99.
