David Wilde, an English composer, read a story in his newspaper which moved him deeply. It was about a man called Vedran Smailovic, who
played his cello in the street in the middle of a war to honour the dead. His courage was extraordinary because he sat in the street and played
while shells and bullets flew around him.
David Wilde was so inspired by the story that he wrote a special piece for solo cello which he called The Cellist of Sarajevo
. It was performed by the cellist Yo- Yo Ma at the Manchester Cello Festival in April 1994.
Incredibly, Vedran Smailovic had survived the war and was in the audience that night to hear it. When Yo- Yo Ma finished
playing, the two men embraced in front of a cheering audience.
