Experience an evening of profound music making with Yo-Yo Ma, the world-renowned cellist and  longtime Washington Performing Arts collaborator, celebrated for his expressive artistry and deep  connection to the music he performs. In this rare solo recital, Ma invites audiences into an intimate  musical journey, showcasing works that span the breadth of the cello repertoire. Juxtaposing Bach suites  alongside works by contemporary composers he has championed through his solo career, and as the  founder of The Silk Road Project, Ma’s performances are known to transcend mere technical mastery, offering listeners a glimpse into the soul of the music. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette notes “Yo-Yo Ma’s playing captivates the ear and charms the imagination,” highlighting the emotional power and integrity he brings to each piece. 

This performance is the second-annual Dallas Morse Coors Legacy Concert—a yearly Washington Performing Arts recital celebrating artists who create lasting cultural impact, connecting generations through the universal language of music. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness a true cello virtuoso at the height of his craft.
