Internationally renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma continues to explore JS Bach's six suites for unaccompanied cello.

Tonight Ma considers the deep relationship between music and architecture through a high-tech "virtual confrontation" between the 18th-century architecture of Giovanni Battista Piranesi and the music of JS Bach.
Using a striking and highly contrasting visual style, director Francois Girard - who made the award-winning Thirty Two Short Films about Glenn Gould - places Ma within a series of computer-generated, 3-D re-creations of Piranesi's etchings for proposed prison buildings, many of which were, in fact, never built. Ma and music-producer Steven Epstein interact within this imaginary architectural space as the cellist plays Bach's Cello Suite No 2.
