Yo-Yo Ma makes new friends in Montana<p>Associated Press<p>GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- For people to drive four hours in the vast state of Montana is not unusual. Residents do it regularly for sports events and business meetings. <p>So it was nothing for music students to travel that long Friday to see renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma prepare for his first Montana performance. More than 630 string students from 12 high schools and universities attended Ma's rehearsal with the Great Falls Symphony Orchestra. <p>"You drove four hours for this?" Ma said. The students roared their approval. <p>Ma's performance Friday night with the symphony commemorated its 45th anniversary. "I've made some new friends," he said near the end of the program.
