Which US cellist has won a MacArthur 'genius' Grant? (+ video)
mainWell, it’s not Yo Yo Ma, so who does that leave?
Alisa Weilerstein, that’s who.

Genius grants also to choral composer Francisco Nunez and Jazz composer Dafnis Prieto.
The award is $500,000 in no-strings-attached support over the next five years. I guess they can take some time off now.
