- **Event Name**: Yo-Yo Ma & the CSO
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 at 09:20 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: For all the rich dimensions of Yo-Yo Ma’s extraordinary career, Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto holds a special place. It was one of the first concertos he ever recorded, over 40 years ago, and it charts a searing emotional journey: Composed after the death of Stalin, the piece unleashes moods of biting sarcasm, rage, despair and soulful poignancy. Ma joins conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto, a frequent guest in Chicago, including with the CSO and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. A different side of Russian music, Rachmaninov’s plush and glittering Symphonic Dances shows the master at the height of his late powers.
