For one night only, Yo-Yo Ma takes the stage in a rare Austin appearance that centers on one of the most recognized works in the cello repertoire. Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B Minor unfolds with lyricism and scale, shaped by Ma’s distinctive musical voice and decades-long connection to the piece. This performance offers a unique opportunity to experience a defining artist live in a work closely associated with his career. The program also includes Hovhaness’s And God Created Great Whales, blending orchestral sound with recorded whale song, and Bizet’s L’Arlésienne Suites Nos. 1 and 2, which bring clarity and rhythmic energy. An evening anchored by a singular artist and a limited opportunity to hear him live.
