Yo-Yo Ma in Recital

“How many musicians evoke the larger questions of life, about existence or a greater power, while they’re playing, as Ma?” (San Francisco Classical Voice).

No conductor. No orchestra. Just Yo-Yo Ma and his cello, returning to Symphony Center for an intimate solo recital. Anchored by three of Bach’s iconic cello suites, the program offers a wide-ranging reflection on the emotional depth and expressive power of the instrument. It’s an invitation to experience one of the world’s most revered artists in a setting that’s both personal and profound
